Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines reviewed over the previous 12 months and select their Top 100, based on quality, value, availability and excitement. This annual list honors successful wineries, regions and vintages around the world.
“We are honored to be recognized on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 List” said Hugh Reimers, President of Foley Family Wines.
“To have two of our wines, as varied from each other as these two are, be recognized in the same year is exceptional. It illustrates the dedication to quality and consistency found among our estate winemakers across the entire Foley Family Wines portfolio.”
Senior Editor for Wine Spectator Tim Fish accompanied his review of the 2015 The Four Graces Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley with a 93-point score, writing, “An expressive and supple version, with a complex core of lively tannins and acidity, plus accents of black cherry, cinnamon and spice that linger toward the minerally finish. Drink now through 2024.”
Fellow Senior Editor James Laube awarded the 2014 Meritage from Foley Johnson 92 points, noting, “Bordeaux-like, offering an expansive mix of currant, cedar, cigar box, riverbed and tobacco leaf flavors. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2020 through 2032.”
