The Alexander Valley
Wine grapes have been grown in this small corner of Sonoma County since 1846. Further inland than any other
American viticultural area in the county, it offers an ideal combination of summer heat, ensuring optimal maturation
for red varieties, united with the cooling influence of the Russian River to retain lively acidity and extend flavor
building hang time.
