Vinene fra John og Lorraine Alban har og er nogle af USA's mest eftertragtede vine.
Alban var nok det første vinhus i USA der dedikerede sin prodution til rhonevarianterne.
Robert Parker skriver om Alban:
The wines of John and Lorraine Alban are about as spectacular as one can find anywhere in the world. Alban is commited to aging he's big Syrahs longer in barrel, beliving it will concentrate the wines and add additional complexity.
Wine advocate 177, june 2008
Der kommer desværre ikke meget til Danmark, og derfor tilrådes det at maile og reservere vinene.

Viognier(20)2009.jpg "Klik for stort billede") One of the pioneers of world-class Rhone varietal-based wines produced in California’s Central Coast, John Alban had the courage and foresight to plant Viognier, Syrah, Grenache, and more recently, Mourvedre, in a region where no one else believed these grapes would thrive. His wines offer off-the-chart levels of concentration, and many of them are capable of lasting three to four decades. These flavor-filled wines are all made from frightfully low yields, and are now being given extremely long aging in barrel, the top Syrah cuvees spending 36-40 months in barrel. The results are wines that are nearly beyond belief in terms of richness and density. These are true artisanal wines meant for long-term cellaring that should only be purchased by patient connoisseurs who are able to defer their gratification for 8-10 years
