Foley Sonoma is dedicated to mixing old-world tradition and modern technology to create limited production, luxury wines from estate vineyards in the Alexander Valley appellation within Sonoma County. Our family has been growing and creating wines since 1996 throughout California and beyond. The estate vineyards offer diverse terrain and soil types that cater to our focus on the five noble Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. We look forward to sharing the wines from this special place with you and your family for years to come. — The Foley Family

2017 was another warm year with one of our earliest harvests to date. Yields were lower than the past few growing seasons, but the quality of fruit was exceptional with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity due to consistently warm temperatures throughout the season. The grapes were harvested on September 6, 2017 at optimum ripeness.

The vineyards for our Sauvignon Blanc lie in the heart of the Chalk Hill AVA. Just down the road from Foley Sonoma, our family vineyards are planted to rich soils that support the Sauvignon Musque clone used in this wine. After harvest, the majority of the fruit was fermented in stainless steel tanks to capture its light, fresh characteristics and the balance in neutral French oak. The wine was bottled on March 16, 2018.

Our 2017 Sauvignon Blanc displays fragrant tropical fruit aromas of guava, pineapple, lime and citrus zest. The aromas carry through to the palate with flavors of rich fruit followed by a crisp acidity that continues to define our bright and refreshing style of Sauvignon Blanc. This is a great wine to enjoy with your favorite seafood dish or as an aperitif.
