Alexander Valley Vineyards

Home to Ferrari-Carano's Mountain Winery Estate, Alexander Valley is one of the largest viticultural appellations in Sonoma County, with a diversity of soil and climate unequaled in any other region of the county.

More than half of Ferrari-Carano's mountain, bench land and valley floor vineyards are located here, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot grapes planted on the valley floor and bench lands, while Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc are planted in the mountains.

Fog drifts in over the tops of the coastal mountain range, burning off quickly in the morning sunshine, resulting in a warm climate with almost full sun throughout the day - ideal conditions for the vineyards. Each vineyard's "terroir" contributes its own complexity of flavors and tannins in the grapes.
