Sonoma Reserve

2012 Alexander Valley Tempranillo

The Clos Du Bois Sonoma Reserve Tempranillo, hailing from the renowned Alexander Valley, is a captivating red wine that showcases the region's exceptional terroir. This vintage provides a delightful journey of flavors, combining ripe dark fruit intensity with subtle earthy undertones. The wine displays a medium body that makes it incredibly approachable while maintaining a lively acidity that invigorates the palate. Tannins are present yet refined, offering a structured backbone without overpowering the fruit. Its dry profile beautifully complements the wine's overall complexity, making it an excellent companion for grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.

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.
