Product Description

Alexander Valley Vineyards is located in the heart of Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley on a 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 preserve it for future generations.

CYRUS showcases the best of Alexander Valley's vineyards. In, 1840 Alexander Valley namesake Cyrus Alexander rode into the valley and called it the "brightest and best spot in the world." He chose this spot to build his home and raise his family, and many years later the Wetzels would do the same. This wine is a tribute to the man, the region, and the very best of the vintage. In 1995 Hank Wetzel produced the first vintage of CYRUS, today winemaker Kevin Hall carries on the tradition with the 19th release of CYRUS. He has selected nine distinctive lots of estate Bordeaux grapes for this vintage, anchoring the blend with four complex lots of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2013 has dark purple color and intense earthy aromas of cassis, black cherry, chocolate, and cherry along with toasty oak and vanilla. This is a silky wine with flavors of cassis, dark chocolate, dark fruits, and chocolate covered cherries. The 2013 CYRUS boasts smooth texture, excellent balance and a long, structured finish.
