Nestled along a scenic back road between Stonewall and Blanco in the Texas Hill Country, a boutique…read morewinery sits perched on the hillside, offering breathtaking views of the Blanco valley. Originally part of the Circle H ranch, it is a great local spot with a laid-back vibe, perfect for those seeking authentic Hill Country charm. Owned by Kara Cleaver, who developed an interest in wines during her 30s and eventually decided to embark on this new adventure, the winery has been open since 2021. Kara has collaborated with experienced winemakers to craft her exceptional wines, each themed around the unique stories of the land from which they originated. The winery places a strong emphasis on sustainable practices, from grape growing to winemaking, and remains actively involved in local Blanco community events. The tasting room has a cozy feel inside and is built from repurposed and recycled materials, not to mention (again) the great views one can enjoy from the hilltop vantage point. There is a patio on the back and side of the space and ample outdoor seating with tables for folks to enjoy. There are several wines to select from on the menu. So, no matter what your fancy is, there is probably something on the menu you can find that suits you. For this visit, six of the wines were sampled. The first was the 2023 Trebbiano. This lovely white wine is light bodied with notes of stone fruit and lemon zest making this white wine very appealing on a hot summer day. Next was the 2021 Albariño. This full-bodied white wine sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA has citrus on the nose followed by a fair amount of minerality and good acidity. For the Rosé wine, the 2023 Ranch Road stood out as a light bodied and fruit forward wine with a light ruby red color. It is a blend of Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris, sourced from Reddy Vineyards. Moving on to the reds, the 2023 Circle H was sampled. This red field blend from Reddy Vineyards circle field plot has a mix of just about everything. It is medium bodied with notes of blackberries, tobacco, leather and a touch of smoke. The next red wine sampled was the 2023 Petit Verdot. It has a lot of dark fruit going for this full-bodied beast and some firm tannins that grab your attention. Lastly, the 2023 Barrel Racer was sipped. This port style wine was aged in Garrison Brother's used whiskey barrels. Made with Syrah, it expresses some good notes of tobacco, cherries and chocolate all in one sip! It is a definitive sipper that is worth enjoying after your meal, or with dessert or cheese. The tasting room also has a kitchen in case you get the munchies. Live music from local musicians helps complement the cool laid-back vibe of this place along with your favorite glass of wine. The staff are very personable, welcoming and attentive. They want to ensure you feel right at home. Kara's new adventure is proof that life changes can be successful. Cheers!

Our server, Madelyn gave us personal attention, serving us while we enjoyed the view from the patio.

Very good! Ambience is calm and mellow. Next door is a fenced area that was full of colts and their mommas. Adorable! Inside tasting room is contemporary with a clean and welcoming design. With so many wineries to choose from in the area, Alexander Vineyards is a true winner!

You take an unassuming road to get to the vineyard and pass some wildlife along the way, including some beautiful cows on the right and antelope roaming the ranch to the left. Once you arrive, the vineyard itself is small but quaint, with a very modern feel. I also loved that you can see directly into the barrel room from the tasting area. Since I was here for their Summer Wine Series I got to try quite a few of their wines. My favorite was the Grenache Rosé, which was super refreshing on a hot Texas day. I actually enjoyed most of the wines, with the exception of the Chardonnay. I also took some time to explore the grounds and there's plenty of outdoor seating, including an elevated area with an unobstructed view of the property. I think that would be a perfect spot to relax on a cooler day. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop in again if I'm in the area even if it's just to enjoy the beautiful grounds!
