Alexander Valley: The Alexander Valley is a Californian American Viticultural Area (AVA) located north of Healdsburg in Sonoma County. It is home to many wineries and vineyards, as well as the city of Cloverdale. It is the largest and most fully planted wine region in Sonoma.[4] Highway 101 runs through the valley, and the Russian River flows down the valley, surrounded by vineyards on both sides. From the higher elevations of the valley rim, there is view as far south as Taylor Mountain and Sonoma Mountain. The region was named for Cyrus Alexander, owner of a part of the Rancho Sotoyome Mexican land grant, in 1847.

Leslie Fay Vineyards: The vineyard at Pendleton Estate's was planted in March of 2006 with one year old vines. The winery was founded on Oct 18th 2005 along with the birth of our first child Leslie Fay. The vineyard is layed out with approximately 1,400 Petite Sirah vines, 900 Mourvedre, 600 Petite Verdot, and 600 Cabernet Franc. We will be planting a field blend next year of Zinfandel, Petite & Mourvedre. All vines are planted on a hillside approx 1,900 feet above the Alexander Valley.
