Alexander Valley Vineyards
Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon-Organically Grown
Alexander Valley Vineyards is located in the heart of Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley on the historic property settled in the 1840s by valley namesake, Cyrus Alexander. The Wetzel Family purchased the original homestead in 1962, continuing a tradition of family farming on the site. From the beginning they treasured the spot they call home and took steps to pre-serve it for future generations. In 2008 Hank and Linda Wetzel began organically farming a small Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard, today we farm over 19 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon clones 4, 6 & 337 organically.

The organically grown fruit was vinified and aged separately to produce our “organically grown” Cabernet Sauvignon. After harvest the grapes were de-stemmed, fermented and cave aged in 50% new French and American oak barrels for 26 months.
