About Alexander Valley
Alexander Valley is Sonoma County's warmest major wine region, making it the go-to appellation for bold, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. The valley stretches along the upper Russian River northeast of Healdsburg, with benchland and hillside vineyards that capture long hours of sunshine.
While Cabernet is the star, Alexander Valley also produces excellent Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The region's larger estates and scenic, rolling hills make for dramatic vineyard views, and its slightly off-the-beaten-path location means a more relaxed tasting experience.
