Since getting into the wine business in the 90’s, Bill’s wine affinity has led to him purchasing nearly 30 wineries combined between mainly California and the Pacific Northwest as well as France, New Zealand and Argentina. Still, if you ask him– it is his prized possession is his home estate vineyard and winery bearing his name. Not Clifford Bay, Chalk Hill nor Firestone– Foley Estates, and the home base of Rancho Santa Rosa Vineyard.
The vineyard is no ordinary vineyard either. With money not an issue, Foley purchased a breathtaking 460-acre property (with 230 acres under vine) in the choice region of Sta. Rita Hills. There in Santa Barbara County with the morning fog, the ocean breeze, the ample afternoon sunlight and the sweeping hills is where some say the truest expression of Burgundian varietals outside of France are.
The perfect combination of climate and soil diversity found in Sta. Rita Hills is what sets it apart, but Bill’s vineyard furthers itself from its peers with something they call, “The Holy Grail”. Several steep, south facing hillside Pinot Noir plots with chalky limestone soil beneath the roots. Not only that, but the Pinot section of the vineyard is at the highest elevation (1000ft above sea level) — giving the grapes ample opportunity to ripen at their own pace with great acidity and balance packed into each tiny cluster.

Impressive amounts of game and wet soil flash across the nose on this bottling at first, before the pepper, plum and pomegranate elements fill in. The palate is equally complex, showing more game and soil as well as thyme, peppercorns, rich strawberry and tart cranberry on the finish.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
