Alexander Valley Vineyards
Alexander Valley Vineyards Homestead Red Blend
Homestead Red Blend celebrates winemaking in Northern Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. A blend of six of our favorite grapes. Each varietal adds complexity and dimension to this well balanced wine. Winemaker Kevin Hall anchored the blend with rich, concentrated Merlot, added Zinfandel for spicy notes, Syrah for more bright spicy flavors and floral aromatics, Cabernet Sauvignon for elegant structure, Grenache for berry flavors, and Mourvedre for additional texture.
