Cabernet Sauvignon might provide the best window into the Hanna Winery approach, showcasing the thrilling distinction of terroir in action, with the rich Alexander Valley. Hanna's Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on Red Ranch in Alexander Valley. The vineyard is planted to 50 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 acres of Malbec, two acres of Petit Verdot, and just over a half acre of Saint Macaire.
