Alice and David Alkosser are eager to announce the Premier Pre-Release offering of their inaugural 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2010 Malbec that comes from their hillside estate vineyard nestled in the heart of the Coombsville AVA.

The contiguous north, south and west vineyards are carved as a bowl within the hills of Coombsville presenting an intertwined tapestry of swales rolling through fifteen planted acres offering a complex blend of several microclimates and exposures with countless variations in soil composition and depth.
