Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Rich, bright fruit with notes of blackberry, cherry, and black currant with a touch of ripe, green olive oil. The soft tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel and a texturally pleasing wine.

Professional Ratings

    Grainy tannins fulfill their mission to coat the teeth with blueberry compote. This dynamo of a wine overflows with plump plum, powdered cocoa, and blooming lavender—it’s really an over-the-counter cure for disbelievers of the Alexander Valley’s potential for textural lushness. Winemaker Rob Lloyd over delivers on some amazing medicine for the soul.

Lloyd, California
Rob Lloyd was raised in a family where wines were an integral part of each evening’s meal. Little did he know that this proximity to wine would lead him one day into the profession of wine making. After graduating from the University of California, Irvine with an Economics degree, Rob headed to the Napa Valley to work in the wine business. He first began his career as a Cellar Employee, moved into the tasting room at Cakebread and next assumed the role of Tasting Room Manager at Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars.

At this point, Rob decided to become a Winemaker, so his next step was to enroll in the Enology program at the University of California, Davis where he obtained his Masters Degree in Enology in 1999. During his schooling, Rob interned at Kent Rasmussen Winery, gaining first hand knowledge about winemaking while at Davis.

After graduating, Rob became the Enologist and then Assistant Winemaker at La Crema in Sonoma. Returning to the Napa Valley, he joined Rombauer Vineyards in 2001, as Assistant Winemaker and then Winemaker until his resignation in mid-2008. While at Rombauer, the winery received many new accolades and awards for their wines including being named by Wine Spectator as one of the Top 100 wines in the world in 2007.

With the desire to assist vineyard owners in creating the finest wines from their grapes, Rob established Lloyd Wine Consulting and now works with his clients to craft world-class wines. Rob is passionate about maximizing the potential of each vineyard and translating this into outstanding and unique wines.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Alexander Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

Nearly a northern extension of Napa Valley, Alexander Valley starts just north of the small, Knights Valley, and is just a few minutes drive from the Napa town of Calistoga. It is Sonoma County’s hottest AVA. But the Russian River, which runs through the valley, creates cooler pockets and its soft, alluvial soil is ideal for grape growing, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, some believe that Alexander Valley Cabernets truly rival the best from Napa Valley and many of the heavy-hitter producers have largely invested here.

In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up over 50% of plantings, Merlot and old vine Zinfandel thrive here. Ample, fleshy Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate white wine production. Some old-vine plantings of Grenache have also been discovered and more recent experiments with Sangiovese and Barbera show great promise.
