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.

From Our Sommeliers
“When Dr. Revana set out to make world class wine in the Dundee Hills, I have to believe this is what he had in mind. With layers that are akin to a Russian nesting doll, it is the true embodiment of "what can be" from Willamette. This dreadnought Pinot is full of structure and showcases both bright cherry and brambly darker fruit all at once. The hint of savory herbs and baking spice float along while the acidity provides lift and keeps you coming back for more. I have paired this with everything from rich charcuterie to smoked venison and it never disappoints. Treat your guests to the sensory experience that rivals that of the great wines of Burgundy at a fraction of the price“ - Adam Elliot
