Greatness often shows itself from the very beginning, and that’s true for the Alexander Valley, which first achieved fame for its red wines in the 1860s. Today the Alexander Valley remains focused on reds, in particular Bordeaux varieties such as Merlot. Most of the fruit for this wine, rich with blackberry and plum, comes from the Alexander Valley, including grapes from our Red Fan and Los Amigos estate vineyards. We harvested the remaining fruit from Goldfields and Bed Rock, each offering unique character—from red cherry and light spice to depth, richness, and light licorice spice—culminating in an incredibly balanced wine, layered with ripe fruit flavors.
