Founded in 1962 by Maggie and Harry Wetztel, the Alexander Valley Vineyards didn't take long to establish themselves as one of Sonoma's finest wineries.

When they first broke ground over four decades ago, there weren't many vineyards to speak of in Sonoma -- just ranches and small family homes.

The Wetzels took note of their Napa Valley neighbors and started a small winery named after the Alexander Valley in which they dwelled.

By 1975, they became known for distinctive estate wines, and their beloved merlot ranks as one of the best.

Alexander Valley Vineyards produces a large variety of wine varietals, including cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and pinot noir, but one of their main stars is definitely merlot.

They grow a total of 14 grape types, and as the Alexander Valley has grown in status and reputation, so too have their famous vineyards.

What Makes Alexander Valley Vineyards Merlot so Irresistible?

The Alexander Valley Vineyards merlot is revered for many reasons.
