The winery traces its lineage to 1840, when Cyrus Alexander arrived in the valley that now bears his name and declared it \"the brightest and the best spot in the world.\" Today, the estate is guided by the Wetzel family, who have farmed these lands for generations with a commitment to sustainable viticulture and a singular focus on expressing the character of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Valley AVA\u003c\/strong\u003e sits in northern Sonoma County, sheltered by the Mayacamas Mountains to the east and the coastal ranges to the west. The valley's warm days and cool nights create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing the grapes to develop full, ripe flavors while retaining the freshness and structure that define the appellation. With nearly 15,000 acres of winegrapes planted, Alexander Valley has earned its reputation as one of California's premier Cabernet destinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from estate-grown fruit, harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified with care to preserve the varietal's natural depth and elegance. The wine undergoes fermentation followed by aging in oak, building structure and complexity while maintaining the bright, fruit-forward character that Alexander Valley is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage opens with a \u003cstrong\u003efresh, mineral-driven nose of red currants, cassis, tea leaves, and red peppercorns\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, delivering lingering notes of \u003cstrong\u003echerries, pine, tomato leaf, and warm spice\u003c\/strong\u003e. Polished and precise, with excellent balance and a long, satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A fresh, mineral-driven nose showing notes of red currants, tea leaves, cassis and red peppercorns.
