"Led by head winemaker Maggie Kruse, who has been with the company since 2006, the Alexander Valley cabernet sauvignon is a classic California cab often found in steakhouses; the estate runs on about 75% solar power, preserves natural wild habitat across three-quarters of its land, and even funded local restaurants during the pandemic to help keep staff employed. Tasting-wise, I was struck by the supersoft tannins and subtle notes of vanilla." - James Oliver Cury
