Clos du Bois Clos du Bois crafted its first vintage in 1974 from 520 acres of grapes in Sonoma County's then little-known Alexander Valley. Since that time the Alexander Valley has become one of the world's most prestigious wine producing regions.

Clos du Bois has also become one of the region's most renowned wineries, famous for elegant, soft and approachable wines.

The name, in case you wondered, reportedly originates from founder Frank Woods' plan to name the new winery "Woods Vineyard." His children, who were studying French at the time, suggested the more exotic "Clos du Bois" instead, which loosely translates to "enclosure in the woods."
