Artisan Cabernets from the Alexander Valley
Alexander Valley is often referred to as “California’s Bordeaux”, as the local landscape is itself a genuine mosaic of soil types and microclimates. Some of the finest grapes in the world are grown here making this a winemaker’s dream location for producing world-class wines. So when Ken and Diane Wilson discovered this property they knew at once this would be there new Cabernet Sauvignon Showcase. It is their intent to produce wines known more for the character of the estate than for the varietal content.
Founded in 1986 by Al deLorimier the winery and vineyard were well thought out and beautifully planted and developed into the Estate is today. Focusing on blending our production facility is set up for the blending and aging of many small lots. With our focus on single vineyard designate Cabernets, winemakers Diane Wilson and Antoine Favero are combining their talents and are already producing award winning artisan wines. With a fabulous line up of ten Cabernet Sauvignons as well as Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and their signature Meritage, deLorimier is the winery to visit when in Sonoma County.
