The wine is named after Cyrus Alexander, the founder of the Alexander Valley. The vineyard features a unique combination of soils, microclimates, and elevations that create a diverse range of flavors and aromas in the grapes. The wine is made using a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes, which are carefully selected and hand-harvested. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Alexander Valley Vineyards Cyrus is a bold and complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.It's dark ruby in color with a nose of dark cherry, leather, cedar, and baking spices. The palate is full bodied and smooth with flavors of ripe dark berries, toasted oak, and hints of cocoa and vanilla. The finish is long and lingering with soft tannins.
