Robert Foley began his wine making career in the Napa Valley in 1977, working at a number of highly regarded Napa Valley wineries including the famous Pride Mountain Vineyards, where he spent 15 years as founding wine maker. During this period he also created the highy acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, School House, and Engel Family wines.

In 1998 Robert Foley Vineyards bottled their first Claret, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and over the last 10 years have expanded and diversified their own production.

Pinot Blanc is a deliciously balanced white. Charbono, an obscure French variety grown in only a handful of California vineyards combines a remarkable depth of color with complex fruit and a soft finish. The Merlot is structured for Cabernet lovers, rich ripe and expansive. The Claret (Cabernet Sauvignon), is crafted from mountain-grown grapes and some of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. The Petite Sirahs are some of the most extracted red wines to be found, yet they too have a soft, silky finish. Robert Foley Claret and Petite Sirah are quite enjoyable when young, and will continue to improve for at least 20+ years.

Bob’s reputation for producing very expressive wines which finish gracefully continues to develop at the new winery facility on the summit of Napa County’s Howell Mountain. Bob and wife and Business Manager Kelly Kehoe house over 1000 barrels in an extensive cave system which they completed in summer of 2008 for the production of Robert Foley wines.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
