First Born Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the rich tradition of winemaking in Alexander Valley, a sub-region of Sonoma County renowned for producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons in the world. Nestled between the Mayacamas Mountains and the Russian River, Alexander Valley boasts a unique combination of geographical features that contribute to its ideal terroir.
The region’s warm climate, with daytime temperatures climbing high enough to ripen grapes to perfection, is tempered by cool evening breezes from the Pacific Ocean, preserving the acidity and balance needed for world-class wines. The deep gravel and volcanic soils found in the valley’s vineyards offer excellent drainage and stress the vines just enough to enhance concentration in the fruit. This unique combination of climate, soil, and geography allows Alexander Valley wines to express a true sense of place.

Tasting Notes:
This Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is as bold as it is elegant. Pouring a deep, dark purple, the wine’s color hints at its intensity and depth. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of licorice, black pepper, mocha, and leather, all indicative of the valley’s distinct terroir. On the palate, rich dark fruit—blackberries, ripe cherries—meld with layers of dark chocolate, black pepper, and spice, creating a symphony of flavors. The balance is impeccable, with robust flavors that never overwhelm. The finish is long and generous, with soft, silky tannins and dark fruit lingering beautifully on the palate.
