Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is predominately Cabernet (75%) with small amounts of Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc that give added flavors and help round out the wine. This Cabernet is filled with swarming aromas of candied red fruit and a hint of toasted oak. The palate has flavors of red currants, cassis, and dried cherries that give way to warm cedar spice that lingers through the finish. With soft and approachable tannins this wine is ready to drink now and will age beautifully over the years to come.

Pair this Napa Valley Cabernet with your favorite cut of red meat.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    A balanced and refined red with currant and blackberry character. Full-bodied yet firm and structured with tension and drinkability. Very well done. Drink or hold.
  • 90
    This wine’s lush fruit and herbal spice is cushioned by the richness of new oak. It’s clean and balanced between sweet fruit and pleasant herbal bitterness, built for prime rib.

Foley Johnson Winery Video

For years, Bill Foley and his wife, Carol Johnson Foley, had dreamt of opening a winery bearing their name in Napa Valley. They both enjoyed the grandeur of Napa’s scenery and the rhythm of its lifestyle, and, more importantly, the couple loved the opulence and complexity of Napa’s wines. With the launch of Foley Johnson in 2012, the Foleys have created a world-class winery with premier vineyards and a historic tasting room right in the heart of America’s preeminent wine-growing region.

Located along Highway 29 in the prestigious Rutherford AVA, Foley Johnson exemplifies the understated elegance and casual warmth of the Valley. The winery produces two tiers of wines: Napa Valley and Handmade. The Napa Valley tier focuses on Bordeaux varieties from the nearly 50 acres of estate vineyards around the winery in Rutherford. The Handmade tier features special small-lot bottlings from some of the renowned winemakers in the Foley Family Wines group of wineries including Dave Lattin of Kuleto, Leslie Renaud of Lincourt, Paul Warson of Firestone, Mark Lyon of Sebastiani and Lisa Bishop Forbes of Chalk Hill.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
