Alexander Valley Vineyards is owned and operated by the Harry Wetzel family. Founded in 1975, it is located on Cyrus Alexander's old homestead. Deep red with aromas of dark berries and spice. Blackberry and black cherry flavors with herb pepper spice, fine but noticeable tannins, overall good balance. Medium finish ending with mineral tones.
