About Foley Johnson
Foley Johnson is a Rutherford estate winery owned by the Foley family, producing wines from their estate vineyard on the historic Rutherford benchland. The property, formerly known as the Sawyer Cellars estate, includes some of the most prized Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the appellation. The winery combines the Foley family's extensive California wine portfolio experience with the exceptional terroir of Rutherford.
The estate vineyard sits on the classic Rutherford alluvial benchland — deep, well-drained soils that produce Cabernet Sauvignon with the hallmark 'Rutherford dust' character that has defined the appellation for generations. Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc round out the portfolio, each benefiting from the estate's ideal growing conditions. Winemaking is site-focused, with the goal of expressing the distinctive Rutherford terroir in every bottle.
Foley Johnson welcomes visitors for tastings at the estate on Highway 29. The tasting room is housed in the historic property and offers seated experiences with views of the estate vineyard. The Rutherford location puts Foley Johnson at the center of Napa Valley's most historic wine-growing region, making it a natural stop for visitors exploring the famous Highway 29 corridor.
