The valley’s well-drained, gravelly soils and hot, arid weather result in ideal growing conditions for wines that are dark in color and have a bold tannin structure.Ripe aromas of blackberries and cherries, with a touch of fresh earth. This wine showcases Alexander Valley characteristics of bright fruit, with nuances of mocha and vanilla.
