Robert Foley Chardonnay Napa Valley California 2023

Robert (Bob) Foley began his wine making career in the Napa Valley in 1977, having just graduated from UC Davis with degrees in both Viticulture and Enology. He spent his first year working for Heitz Cellars, followed by 15 years as the founding winemaker for Markham Vineyards. In 1992, Bob began another 15 years as the founding winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards. During this period, he also created the highly acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, and School House wines. He now focuses mostly on Robert Foley Vineyards wines, but also creates the offerings of Shelter, Padis Vineyards, Herson Family Vineyards, and JennaMarise Wines in the Napa Valley. Tasting Notes: This un-oaked Chardonnay presents enticing aromas of fruit salad with the character of banana and peach and hints of honeysuckle and jasmine flowers. The acidity is bright and carries the fruit across the palate. Pairing Notes: OWS Crab Cakes, Rotisserie Chicken, Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes
