Founded by vintner Bill Foley, Foley Estates has played a leading role in establishing the reputation of the Sta. Rita Hills as one of California’s premier regions for Pinot Noir. The J.A. Ranch Vineyard sits in the western portion of the appellation, where persistent Pacific winds, cool fog, and marine-derived soils create an exceptionally long growing season that allows Pinot Noir to develop complexity while retaining freshness and structure. Foley’s vineyard-focused approach emphasizes the distinctive character of these coastal sites, producing wines that capture the aromatic lift, savory nuance, and mineral tension that define top-tier Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir.
