Handmade Peral Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

Rutherford

The Foley Johnson Peral Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from our Peral Vineyard, a 10 acre parcel adjacent to our main Rutherford Estate. The name ‘Peral’ pays homage to the sites history as a pear orchard. Today a single 100 year old pear tree remains in the vineyard. Its comprised of thicker and heavier adobe soils with small amounts of gravel which are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

Points A spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon from the Peral Vineyard… an impressive purity of fruit, with classic notes of black cherry, raspberry, and even strawberry, complemented by lovely perfumed floral aromas. A magnificent effort in 2022.

Points Generous and plush, showing aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, black cherries and tobacco leaves. The full-bodied palate has fine tannins and bright acidity… Very precise and balanced with a powerful touch.

The Foley Johnson 2022 Peral Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from our Peral Vineyard, a 10 acre parcel adjacent to our main Rutherford Estate. The name ‘Peral’ pays homage to the sites history as a pear orchard. Today a single 100 year old pear tree remains in the vineyard. Its comprised of thicker and heavier adobe soils with small amounts of gravel which are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The ideal growing conditions in the vineyard allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green, leafy taste of under-ripe fruit. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation and was aged for 21 months in 40% new French oak before going into bottle on July 24, 2024.
