2021 Foley Sonoma Courtney’s Cuvée Winemaker Series Red Blend, Alexander Valley
The Foley Sonoma Winemaker Series includes wines hand crafted and selected by our winemaker. Each wine in the series embodies a distinct representation of terroir which is illustrated by the hand painted watercolors depicted on our label. This Cuvée comes from our estate vineyards on the Foley Sonoma property. The watercolor artwork on our label illustrates the special sense of place of this Alexander Valley vineyard.
Vineyards & Winemaking
The labels on our Winemaker Series illustrate and honor each vineyard. Fruit for our 2021 Courtney’s Cuvée came from our estate vineyards in Alexander Valley. These vineyards lie at the valley floor, planted on predominately clay soils. This year’s blend is comprised of Syrah, Grenache Noir, and a splash of Mourvèdre, Sangiovese, and Petit Verdot. Each barrel for this blend was hand selected based on aromatics, varietal intensity and balance.
Winemaker’s Notes
A selection of Courtney Foley’s favorite barrels, the 2021 Courtney’s Cuvée is an excellent expression of our estate vineyards. Upon opening, alluring aromas of maple, coffee nip, graphite, leather, violet, allspice, and blueberry muffin waft from the bottle. The juicy acidity of this wine, coupled with flavors of plum and wild raspberry, are beautifully balanced by rustic tannins that grip the palate and extend the luxurious finish.

An artistic and fresh interpretation of the best of Alexander Valley.
Our winemaking philosophy is about pure varietal expression which produces award-winning, balanced wines rich in fruit and deep in character. We produce 4,000 to 6,000 cases annually from the following varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Sémillon, Tannat, and Zinfandel.
Our philosophy is reflected in our approach to winemaking: bold but thoughtful. A blend of traditional and modern. Efficient, but lively and spirited. Our wines, we hope, embody our hard work, attention to detail and the joy we take in making them. We are all a bit free-spirited by nature. Conventional rules, devoid of understanding or heart, hold no appeal for us. Guided by youthful enthusiasm and tireless dedication, we produce balanced wines high in quality, rich in fruit, and deep in character.
