Director’s Cut Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Balanced, rich flavors of juicy black cherry, cinnamon, and marzipan.

Named after the version of a film which most reflects the director’s vision, Director’s Cut wines represent our winemaker’s vision of varietal wines, which express true appellation character.

Director’s Cut embraces appellation-specific sourcing, meticulous fruit selection, and numerous blending trials in order to capture the distinct nuances of Sonoma’s microclimates.

Winemaker Notes

“Alexander Valley is a long, narrow appellation with two distinct climates and a variety of soil compositions, including volcanic soils on the eastern hillsides, rocky clay loam at the western edge and alluvial gravel on the valley floor. We source from several sites to ensure a richly expressive spectrum.”

100% barrel aged for 9 months including French and American oak.

Vineyard Notes

Alexander Valley is a long, narrow appellation with two distinct climates and a variety of soil compositions, including volcanic soils on the eastern hillsides, rocky clay loam at the western edge, and alluvial gravel on the valley floor. The southern portion of the appellation nearest the coast is cooler, while vineyards in the northern
part of the appellation are warm during the day, yet chilly in the evening. We source our Cabernet Sauvignon from several sites, each contributing unique flavor characteristics.
