Foley Johnson, Handmade Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

92+ POINTS of pure, unadulterated, dust-choked Rutherford gold! Foley Johnson is "handmade" in the truest sense—think small-lot precision meets the historical soul of Napa’s most coveted benchland. Located in the heart of the "Rutherford Bench," this estate is a neighbour to legends. The 2021 vintage is a masterclass in terroir, born from those iconic, well-drained gravelly soils that give Rutherford its world-famous "dust." This isn't just wine; it’s liquid history from a winery that treats every vine like a family heirloom. And this handmade Cab is a heirloom piece with aromas of blackcurrant and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied bursting with notes of blackberry and cedar which lead to a smooth finish of graphite. Fun fact for the hockey lovers out there: Foley isn't just a wine giant; he’s also the owner of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights. He famously predicted the team would win a Stanley Cup within six years—and they did. He brings that same "win-at-all-costs" energy to his vineyards, having built a portfolio of over 20 prestige wineries including Silverado, Chalk Hill, and Ferrari-Carano. That's how you know this wine is not just good, IT IS GREAT!
