Estate-Grown Bordeaux Varietals from Alexander Valley
A Singular Expression of Alexander Valley
Nestled in the rolling hills of Alexander Valley, Lancaster Estate is a family-owned winery dedicated to producing estate-grown, produced, and bottled wines from classic Bordeaux varieties. With 53 hillside acres of vineyards rooted in volcanic soils, our wines reflect a commitment to terroir, precision, and heritage. Each vintage is an authentic expression of this exceptional site.
Artfully Crafted from Vineyard to Bottle
Meticulous Winemaking at Every Step
At Lancaster Estate, every detail matters. From micro-block vineyard mapping and low-yield farming practices to native yeast fermentation and French oak barrel aging, our process is designed to coax the finest character from each grape. Under the guidance of winemaker David Drake, each lot is handled with care, resulting in wines of structure, depth, and age-worthy elegance.
Alexander Valley’s Hillside Advantage
A Premier Site for Cabernet Sauvignon
Situated at the confluence of Chalk Hill and Knights Valley, Lancaster Estate’s hillside vineyards benefit from low-nutrient soils, warm days, and cool nights that extend the growing season and build complexity. These ideal microclimates, paired with careful vineyard evolution and hand-sorting techniques, yield powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon and blends that stand among California’s finest.
