2024
Just north of our home in Healdsburg, CA, Alexander Valley is an exceptional environment for Sauvignon Blanc, crafting wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir…. which means sense of place. The valley's warm days coax vibrant tropical and stone fruit flavors from the grapes, while cool evening breezes from our ocean breeze preserve their crisp acidity and aromatic intensity. It is truly one of the finest regions to get that balance of ripeness and freshness, offering a refined expression of this beloved varietal.
Our 2024 Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a feast for the senses. Its pale golden hue shimmers in the glass, hinting at the elegance within. On the nose, vibrant aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, and fresh-cut grass mingle with subtle floral notes of orange blossom. The palate is crisp and refreshing, bursting with flavors of juicy pineapple, ripe pear, and a touch of minerality, all carried by a lively acidity that lingers through the bright, clean finish. This wine beautifully captures the energy and finesse of Alexander Valley.
Cheers -Eric 🍷
LABEL ARTWORK & DESIGN by Eric Guerra & Mindi Abair
This design was born from the harmony of music and wine—two timeless arts that evoke emotion, passion& connection for us. The piano keys symbolize classic jazz standards, a tribute to melodies that endlessly inspire. The dancing woman embodies grace, creativity, and freedom—qualities found in both a perfectly played jazz tune and a perfectly crafted light white wine. With this design, we celebrate the artistry of life!

MUSIC PAIRING & PLAYLIST by Mindi
Standards are the songs we grew up with—classics our parents and grandparents loved, enduring melodies that still bring a smile to our faces. This bright and beautiful Sauvignon Blanc captures that same timeless joy. At Berklee College of Music, I wore out my Real Book, a collection of Jazz Standards we studied and played endlessly. These songs, recorded by countless artists, are cherished for their beauty and adaptability. I’ve curated a playlist of my favorite standards to pair with this wine—some familiar, some new. Perhaps you’ll discover an old or new favorite to enjoy along with your glass. Click below to launch the Spotify Playlist
