About 001 Vintners
001 Vintners is a micro-production winery in Napa Valley founded by Bob and Bett Foley, dedicated to crafting small-lot Cabernet Sauvignon that captures the essence of the valley's most coveted vineyard sites. Operating on the principle that the best wines come from meticulous attention in the vineyard and a light hand in the cellar, 001 Vintners produces fewer than 500 cases annually, making every bottle a reflection of place and purpose. The winery sources fruit from premium vineyard sites across the Napa Valley floor and mountain appellations, with particular focus on Oakville, Rutherford, and Howell Mountain.
The winemaking philosophy at 001 Vintners centers on minimal intervention and maximum expression. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, gently sorted, and fermented in small lots to preserve the character of each vineyard block. Extended maceration and aging in French oak barrels allow the wines to develop complexity while maintaining their varietal identity. The Cabernet Sauvignon program is the heart of the portfolio, with each vintage reflecting the unique growing conditions of its source vineyard.
Visiting 001 Vintners is an intimate affair by appointment only. The tasting experience is personal and educational, often hosted by the winemaking team themselves. Guests can expect a deep dive into single-vineyard expressions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with the opportunity to taste barrel samples and library wines when available. The setting is understated and focused entirely on the wine, making it ideal for serious wine enthusiasts seeking an authentic Napa Valley producer experience.
