Alexander Valley Vineyards '21 Homestead Red Blend Full Case

Enjoy this case of 12 bottles from California's Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg. 2021 was almost a perfect growing season, though it began with a cold start, and lack of rain. The weather warmed up, but the drought continued. This was followed by weeks of steady daytime heat and cool evenings. The berries ripened evenly, however yields were a bit lighter than in prior vintages due to the lack of rainfall. Each individual lot for Homestead Red Blend was picked, fermented and barrel aged separately in our caves to maximize complexity and broaden the flavors in the glass. This dark purple wine has complex aromas of black cherry, spice, plum, cassis, blueberry, oak and vanilla. This is a medium bodied wine with spicy dark fruit flavors of berry, plum, cherry, oak and vanilla. Lush enough to enjoy on it’s own, Homestead’s bright, juicy flavors and beautiful balance compliment a wide variety of foods.
