About Robert Foley Vineyards

Robert Foley’s premium wines are produced and bottled in the small mountain winery on Napa Valley’s renowned Howell Mountain.

A few of Robert Foley’s most famous wines are the 2006 Claret – thoroughly ripe, intensely extracted and evenly balanced 100% Cabernet that is said to rival the stellar 2001 vintage; 2007 Charbono – an intense yet elegant dark purple hued wine candied in berry and vanilla flavors that lead into a big mid-palate with lingering flavors clad in soft fine tannins. More praised wines from the Robert Foley Vineyards include: Howell Mountain Appellation Cabernet (sold by lottery), 2006 Merlot, 2006 Petite Sirah in two flavors (Pepperland and Muscle Man), 2007 Pinot Blanc. 

Robert Foley shares a personal take on his legendary Napa Valley vineyard: "As a Napa Valley winemaker since 1977, I thoroughly enjoy working with some of the finest grapes in the world. Mountainous well-drained soils and the exposures of high elevations combine to concentrate aroma and flavor, as well as color and density, in wine grapes. This results in some of the most expressive wines imaginable. Traditional techniques and hands-on care, serve to elevate the remarkable character of our wines, so that we may offer you a most rewarding wine experience."
