Lancaster Estate Vineyards

Lancaster Estate Vineyards is a family-owned winery situated in the southern tip of Alexander Valley, near the confluence of the Knights Valley and Chalk Hill appellations. The estate's 53 acres of vineyards are planted to classic Bordeaux varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon (83%) being the dominant grape, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Sauvignon Blanc. The winery's signature style is characterized by Bordeaux-style blends crafted from these varietals, showcasing concentrated fruit flavors and aromas alongside lithe tannins with ageability. The estate's vineyards benefit from the region's unique geology, with rich, red volcanic soils and diverse microclimates contributing to the complexity of their wines. The winemaking team, led by David Drake, employs a combination of traditional techniques and modern technology, including satellite mapping and climatic analysis, to craft wines that reflect the terroir of Alexander Valley. Visitors can experience the estate's offerings through wine tastings and tours, with options for private tastings and events available. The Wine Guild club offers members exclusive benefits, including discounts on wine and merchandise, complimentary tastings, and priority access to new releases.
