Robert Rex, winemaker, has posted four videos

Walking Sonoma Vineyards
Robert examines, tastes and talks about the vineyards and
the best time to pick the grapes during the harvest of 2008

The shape of wine, parts 1, 2 and 3
Robert describes the flavor profiles in Red Rex, Shiraz Cuvée and DRX
in terms of the where and how the flavors of the component varietals
in these exceptional blends fit on your palate.
You will never taste wine the same again.


Here's the state of our art
and our passion.

DRX is a Meritage, which means that it is made exclusively from Bordeaux varietal grapes. We have vineyards in Sonoma, Napa and Clear Lake providing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot for this blend.

By the time the wine is in the bottle we, the winemakers, have tasted it thousands of times. The individual lots imprint on us with their special flavors and characters. When we examine and taste from the barrels in the cave we carry chalk to write notes on individual barrels, something about the wine or the process. Those barrels that were the best in each lot got an "X" for eXceptional. This is where the X in DRX comes from.

This Meritage is made from just the exceptional barrels. We make the component wines separately, age them for 18 months to two years, do the blend by taste and then return the blend for a third year or more of barrel aging.

After the 2001 DRX was bottled it was aged in the bottle for three years. You say you don't have a cellar to age exceptional wines? Well, we've done it for you.

Red Rex new vintage

Red Rex fact sheet picture

RED REX has been a hit since it was released in early 2006. The 2002, 2003 and 2004 vintages sold out quickly. Luckily the 2005 vintage is ready and has been released. Click Here to put in an order.

At a suggested retail of $28.00 per bottle it is a real buy (a few dollars more in some out of California markets). This is what the latest review says about RED REX:

“It’s deep and dark with great blackberry fruit. Mellow tannins and a wonderful soft and lingering cedar finish make this wine everything you would want in a bottle costing $30.00.” WINETASTINGSONOMA.COM

The RED REX Fact Sheet provides a lot of information about this wine.

We've also updated our fact sheet locator to make it easier to find fact sheets on all of our wines. You can find it here: Fact Sheets.

And, if you try RED REX and you think it is good, then try our other wines, they are all exceptional, many a step up from Red Rex.
