The Heritage of Alexander Valley
Baron Herzog Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the precise viticulture of **Sonoma**. Produced by the legendary winery **Herzog Wine Cellars**, this wine benefits from the unique climate of Alexander Valley, where hot days are moderated by the nighttime fogs from the Russian River. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that perfectly balances the ripeness of dark fruit with an elegant structure and refreshing acidity, polished after impeccable aging in oak barrels.
