DeLorimier Winery

DeLorimier Winery is one of Alexander Valley's most Bordeaux-committed and scenically positioned small estates. Alfred DeLorimier — a surgeon who channeled his precision and dedication into winemaking — established the Highway 128 Geyserville estate in 1986 with a specific vision: produce Bordeaux-variety wines from the Alexander Valley that would stand comparison with the world's finest Meritage and Sauternes-inspired dessert wines.

The Spectrum Meritage blend — combining Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon in the classic white Bordeaux tradition — is the estate's most distinctive and celebrated wine, embodying Alfred DeLorimier's conviction that the Alexander Valley's warm climate could produce something genuinely analogous to the great estates of Bordeaux's Entre-Deux-Mers. The estate Meritage red blend and Cabernet Sauvignon round out a program that remains committed to the French Bordeaux varieties that most Alexander Valley producers have moved beyond.

The daily walk-in tasting with estate vineyard views and picnic grounds makes DeLorimier one of the most accessible and scenically satisfying discoveries on the Highway 128 wine circuit — a small estate whose Bordeaux conviction and genuine warmth reward visitors who take the time to turn off the main road.
