AN ELITE WINE ESTATE IN THE ROLLING HILLSIDES OF ALEXANDER VALLEY.
Lancaster Estate is dedicated to crafting wines that are estate grown, produced and bottled. Situated at the southern tip of Alexander Valley, near the confluence of the Knights Valley and Chalk Hill appellations, the estate includes vineyards planted to Bordeaux varieties, a state-of-the-art winery and caves dug into the hillside adjoining the winery. The estate crafts wines blended exclusively from classic Bordeaux varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc – singularly identifiable as Lancaster Estate.
