California Based Foley Family Wines Purchases Oregon’s The Four Graces

Bill Foley and Foley Family Wines announced the purchase of The Four Graces, producer of world class Oregon Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc in the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

According to Foley, “I’ve had my eye on Oregon for a long time. I’m a big fan of Pinot Noir and the Dundee, Oregon region produces some of the best.  The Four Graces’ incredible Estate grown wines are an exciting addition to the Foley Family of Wines.”

In addition to The Four Graces business, Foley Family Wines is acquiring the tasting room and the Black Family Estate Vineyard with 54 acres of planted vineyard, located in the Dundee Hills AVA, and the Doe Ridge Estate Vineyard with 41 acres of vineyard, located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.  Foley Family Wines has assembled a portfolio of over 15 high profile wine estates in the USA and New Zealand since Mr. Foley entered the wine business in 1996.  This purchase will be Mr. Foley’s first acquisition in Oregon.

The Four Graces was founded by Ms. Paula Marie Black and Steven L. Black and established by the Black family in 2003 with the purchase of the Black Family Estate in Dundee and has quickly grown to become one of the most successful Oregon wineries.  The winery was named after the founders’ four daughters.  The Four Graces has been featured a number of times in the Wine & Spirits’ Annual Restaurant Poll as one of America’s most popular restaurant wines.
