Foley Johnson Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2013
This 2013 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir has classic varietal expression of Pinot Noir grown in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. This wine has juicy fruit notes of boysenberry and raspberry jam followed by vibrant cherry cola and caramelized sugar. The French Oak barrels add great structure and length to the lush fruit profile. This wonderful medium bodied Pinot pairs perfectly with just about anything, but Italian food really enhances its flavors.
For years, Bill Foley and his wife, Carol Johnson Foley, had dreamt of opening a winery bearing their name in Napa Valley. They both enjoyed the grandeur of Napa’s scenery and the rhythm of its lifestyle, and, more importantly, the couple loved the opulence and complexity of Napa’s wines. With the launch of Foley Johnson in 2012, the Foleys have created a world-class winery with premier vineyards and a historic tasting room right in the heart of America’s preeminent winegrowing region.
