Alexander Valley
At 600 feet above sea level, the rolling hillside vineyards of our Alexander Valley Estate are steep enough to gently stress the vines for intense varietal character. Foggy mornings and cool nights moderate the warm climate, extending the growing season well into October when the fruit is harvested at optimal maturity.
Our Estate yields fruit redolent with blackberry and cassis and balanced with rich, round tannins that soften with time. The Jordan Estate is comprised of 223 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon interspersed with Merlot and Petit Verdot to provide balance and complexity to the blend. A combination of geological events—seismic uplift and changes in the confluence of the Russian River over time—has made our soils a pastiche of sand, clay and gravel. Using sustainable practices and precision farming, our expert vineyard team has learned how to optimize this multicolored quilt of nature so that the resulting wine reflects these wonderfully diverse colors and textures.
