2016 Foley Sonoma Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
Winemaker Notes
Our 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a great representation of what the Alexander Valley is providing us with; full body and well-structured tannins. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cassis and toffee are complimented by rich flavors of blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate. Thanks to the youthful tannins on the finish, this wine will continue to age gracefully for 7-10 years.
