Sonoma Reserve

2009 Alexander Valley Malbec

The Clos Du Bois Sonoma Reserve 2009 is a captivating Malbec hailing from the renowned Alexander Valley, known for its exceptional winegrowing conditions. This delightful red wine showcases a full-bodied structure, complemented by a high acidity that adds vibrancy and freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of dark chocolate and a touch of spice. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone while ensuring a smooth and satisfying finish. An off-dry quality enhances its food-friendly nature, making it an excellent companion for grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes. This wine truly reflects the excellence of its terroir and the craftsmanship behind it.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
