Testimonials
La Cienega’s inaugural wines embody all of what makes Alexander Valley red wines great: rich body, soft tannins, spice and complexity. Both the Cabernet and the Red Blend are well-balanced with structure and acidity that lend the wines to both food-friendliness and age-ability. And, the uniqueness of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Carignan is so fun and unexpected! I also appreciate their strong commitment to sustainability.
