It’s difficult to narrow down favorite wines from our standout portfolio, but this selection includes three of our best-loved offerings. From Chalk Hill, Lancaster Estate, and Foley-Johnson—the name Foley-Johnson honors both founder Bill Foley and his wife, Carol Johnson Foley—we’ve put together the perfect trio to pair with spur-of-the-moment hors d’oeuvres, steaks on the grill, or wood-fired pizza.
Our Founder's Favorites Gift Box Includes:
2019 Lancaster Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley
A succulent pair to our Kwanzaa Stew, sourced from our volcanic hillside vineyards in Alexander Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose of dark plum, tobacco, and black pepper and a concentrated palate of black cherry, dark stone fruit, and dried sage.

2022 Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay, Chalk Hill – 92 pts, James Suckling
