2016 Foley Sonoma Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ($55)
Foley Sonoma was founded in 2016 in Alexander Valley, part of the Sonoma Valley, CA.
Their winemaking philosophy is about pure varietal expression which produces award-winning, balanced wines rich in fruit and deep in character.
They produce 4,000 to 6,000 cases annually.
This Foley Sonoma Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple in color. On the nose it has rich aromas of blackberry, black plum, currant and oak. On the palate, this is a full-bodied wine with soft tannins and balanced acidity. It has rich, dark fruit flavors and has a long finish that is extremely soft and smooth.
This Foley Sonoma Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a gem. And, for a Alexander Valley Cab of this quality, it’s a bargain! If you love a big, rich Cab, this one’s for you. A great fit as this week’s Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week. Cheers!
