Bob Foley holds all his wines back until they’re “ready”. You know this from our stories about the Butcher and Shelter wines, which regularly take several years before Bob is ready for the world to have at them. Both he and his wife serve as the guinea pigs, drinking the wines regularly over time, until they’re deemed good to go. With today’s beauty, they’re finally ready to relinquish some of their private stash.
I had a chance to try Bob’s Estate Blanc this past week and found it to be absolutely flawless. It reminds me of a Cotes du Rhône. Then I was given the price of the wine and was blown away.
This is an amazingly crisp white, especially considering Bob held back a year or two. It’s no surprise. Even without any oak treatment, this is an aromatic treat. Pair with any of the usual suspects: spring salad, poultry or anything out of the ocean.
I think all of Foley’s wines are a bargain especially considering the extra aging (which ain’t cheap) and the pedigree– but this one just might take the cake. It’s not everyday you get to raid the cellar of a true passion project. $28/bottle at the winery and everywhere else online. 43% OFF on bottle one for the next 72 hours. Nearly half off and shipping included on all case orders.

It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
