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…

The man who laid the foundation for Alexander Valley Vineyards is also the man most responsible for having a Pinot Noir in our portfolio. 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…

Every time we release another 2007 wine, we are amazed at what a truly great vintage it was. If you are looking for more evidence, just uncork a bottle of the 2007 Estate Syrah. More…

We've nicknamed this wine "Original Sin." It's a reference to the fact that long before the advent of quirky names for Zinfandel, we at AVV decided a playful and unique name was fitting for our Alexander Valley Zin. 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…

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…

This wine is special on a number of fronts. For one, it hails from a great vintage. Pretty much every varietal, but particularly the Bordeaux varietals, really shined in 2007 here in the Alexander Valley. More…

This 2009 Estate Chardonnay is clearly distinctive. It isn't overoaked nor is it stripped bare. Instead. More…
