Established 1962. Wetzel family estate. 2019 Homestead red blend. Homestead Red Blend celebrates the history and spirit of Northern Sonoma's Alexander Valley. Settled in the 1840s by namesake Cyrus Alexander, the valley's warm days, cool nights and diverse soils produce world class red wines. To celebrate the region we blended 45% merlot for rich power, 32% zinfandel for pepper and spice, 8% cabernet sauvignon for elegant structure, 6% grenache for fruitiness, 5% syrah with lush berry flavors and 4% mourvedre for texture. In the glass there is rich texture with flavors of boysenberry, blueberry, cherry, vanilla and spice along with a long lasting finish. Sustainably farmed grapes.
