Winery Info

ALEXANA WINERY

In 2005, while representing his Napa Winery, Revana, at a wine conference, Dr. Revana met Lynn Penner- Ash, owner of Penner-Ash Wine Cellars. He shared his love of the great wines of Burgundy and became fast friends with her. In the spring of that same year, Dr. Revana enlisted Lynn's expertise to begin a search for both the ideal piece of land and an experienced winemaker to produce Pinot Noirs that could rival those from Burgundy. Since its founding in 2005, the Alexana Estate is a geologically diverse 55-acre parcel consisting of 18 different soil types. The vineyard is dry-farmed and located between 360–640 feet elevation in the pristine Dundee Hills AVA where sustainable and biodynamic farming methods are applied to cultivate premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Estate Riesling 2019

From Our Sommeliers

“One reason I love pouring this wine is the guest reaction that abounds every time! Most aren't expecting the fresh orchard and stone fruit it delivers with crisp acidity and a lovely dry finish. The white flowers and mineral tones are complimented by a fresh ginger, juicy grapefruit, and big, surprised smiles. This is my go-to wine to start the party with, and a guest favorite with various seafood, hard cheeses and lighter fare. I often refer to it as the Honeycrisp apple of wines because of the balance it strikes between fruit, acid, minerality and massively refreshing crisp-osity. Do yourself a favor and amuse your bouche with this beautiful expression of new world Riesling!“ - Adam Elliot
