Alexander Valley

---

Alexander Valley possesses the greatest diversity of soils in any wine-growing region of California. It has a long history of dramatic geologic activity, from an ancient mudflow that changed the course of the Russian River to earthquake upheavals that redistributed whole sections of land. This created numerous soil types and microclimates. This is a blessing because it allows us to produce wines with a great diversity of flavors. This gives us flexibility that winemakers will never have in Bordeaux or Napa Valley and that is why Alexander Valley is destined to be such an important appellation.
