The T Bar T Ranch is strategically located on the Eastern mountains of Sonoma in the Alexander Valley American Viticuture Area (AVA), and ranges in elevation from 400 feet to 1,100 feet. Significant volcanic and geothermal activity greatly influence the land and offer a distinctive composition to the complex soil, along with various microclimates defined by the vineyard's elevation and exposure. The soil is also very restrictive to root growth which promotes low to moderate vigor leading to wonderfully chewy, balanced mountain tannins.
This AVA is sheltered from the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean by the low lying hills Northeast of Healdsburg. During the day, The Alexander Valley is one of the warmest areas in Northern California, but at night experiences a wide diurnal temperature variation that cools off climate conditions. This allows for a long, even growing season for our Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc.
This vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon that is classically fruit-forward, supple, and displays notes of dark opulent fruit with well balanced acidity. In white wines, such as our T Bar T Ranch Sauvignon Blanc, this vineyard produces well ripened, ultra-concentrated fruit with characteristics of white peaches, pear and red apple.
