Blue Rock Vineyard ALEXANDER VALLEY

CELLAR 288 — NEW BRUNSWICK
Alexander Valley, north of Healdsburg and Russian River Valley AVA, is one of Sonoma County’s warmer regions. Blue Rock estate, just north of Geyserville in the north of the AVA, was first settled by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. The run-down property was resurrected by Kenny Kahn and his wife Cheryl and now produces top-notch wines from mainly Bordeaux varietals grown on the 40-hectare estate.
