Our marquee wine, a true reflection of the best of the Alexander Valley, earns its stripes in a number of ways. More…

There are few places better suited for Cabernet Sauvignon than the Alexander Valley, which is why it's become our signature wine. More…

Anyone who thinks Merlot is a lightweight has never tried this one. The 2007 is a well-structured wine with the kind of characteristics often ascribed to Cabernet. More…

Pinot Noir is one of those grape varieties that is hardly forgiving. So careful vineyard site selection and gentle handling of the fruit are critical. More…

It may seem a little unusual to find Sangiovese planted in Sonoma's wine country where varietals from Cabernet Sauvignon to Chardonnay thrive. More…

The Alexander Valley is a phenomenal place to grow Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, but what we've discovered over our years of grape-growing is that Rhone grapes like Syrah do pretty well here too. More…

Sin Zin is arguably our best known wine. Most folks are initially drawn in by the label, but once they taste what's inside the bottle, they quickly realize that this is no novelty wine. More…

When we added Temptation to our family of Zins, we wanted to show how the grape California has adapted as its own can wear many faces. More…

Original Sin is in the Alexander Valley. You must trek to Dry Creek for Redemption. Of course we are talking Zinfandel here, as in Sin Zin, our signature Zin, and Redemption Zin, the wonderfully lush companion. More…

Temptation. Sin. Redemption. They have weighed on souls for eons, caused so much consternation. But bring them together in a convenient package, and they bring but one response--joy. More…

There are folks who like a velvety, lush Merlot. And then there are those who prefer the gumption of a Syrah. More…

Around the winery, this reserve Syrah has been nicknamed "Big Barrel" for the enormous barrels that are used to age the wine. More…

The accolades keep pouring in for this wine. First, Decanter Magazine gave it 5 Stars, rating it one of the top two California Cabernets from the 2006 vintage. More…

This new wine was created using an old technique. Instead of aging the wine in the more conventional 60 gallon barrels, 92 gallon barrels were used. More…

If there is one varietal that defines the Dry Creek Valley, it is Zinfandel. Long hours of sunshine tempered by coastal fogs that settle in at night create the perfect environment for growing great Zin. More…

When we set out to make a new Alexander School Rhone blend, one of the guiding principals was to make a wine that truly exhibited a sense of place, that concept the French call terroir. More…

While rosé can be produced from any red grape, we think Sangiovese provides all the elements to make a world-class rosé, particularly depth of fruit and great acidity. More…

The Malbec that we grow on our estate customarily is used to add some depth to our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and to the CYRUS. More…

Winemaker Kevin Hall's philosophy has always been to produce wines that truly reflect the qualities of the vineyard. More…

One of the lessons we've learned over nearly a half century of grape growing is that there are certain varietals that are perfect for the Alexander Valley and there are others that are best left to other appellations. More…

Ask any grower what grape is most beligerant and they are likely to answer Viognier. Ask them what grape is most rewarding and many will offer the same answer. More…
