On WineAccess, most of you know Alexander as the creator of "Chad" -- the brand Alexander dreamed up at a Napa barbecue when the valley was mired in the throes of the recession. But here in the valley, Chad Alexander is far better known for his deft hand with mountain Cabernet. After a several year stint as winemaker at Robert Craig, in 2006, Alexander set out on his own. Within six months, he had a half dozen clients, each paying handsomely for his extravagant mountain Cabernet touch. If you're lucky, you still have a few bottles of Alexander's last masterpiece, the 2007 Aurielle that Parker lavished with 93pts.
