Founded by vintner Bill Foley, Foley Estates has been instrumental in establishing the reputation of the Sta. Rita Hills as one of California’s premier cool-climate regions for Pinot Noir. The Barrel Select bottling is drawn from the winery’s top vineyard blocks across the appellation, where persistent Pacific winds, morning fog, and marine-derived soils create a long growing season that promotes both concentration and freshness. By selecting the most compelling barrels from the vintage, Foley highlights the aromatic lift, savory complexity, and structural precision that have made Sta. Rita Hills a benchmark terroir for world-class Pinot Noir.
