DESCRIPTION
Situated on the northwest-facing lip of a back bowl on the mountain, the 2015 Bear Point Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ripples with a high tone that's unusual for Cabernet anywhere in the world. Dark Santa Rosa Plum, raspberry, and fig combine in a palate that's saturated and textured with notes of cocoa powder and leather on the finish. Bright acidity and soft, fine-grained tannins make this wine a pleasure to drink, seamless to age, and excellent with food.

Pocket Peak

Our vineyards lie within the proposed Pocket Peak American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the eastern highlands of the Alexander Valley AVA.

Pocket Peak is defined by its elevated topography and distinctions in climate, precipitation, and soils. The petition to establish Pocket Peak as a new AVA was filed with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in February 2022.

Alexander Valley

The Stonestreet winery and tasting room sit on the tranquil valley floor facing the mountains where we farm our fruit.

The Alexander Valley AVA was made official in 1984, and it outlines the path of the Russian River flowing from Mendocino County down to Healdsburg. Grapes were grown commercially in this valley as early as the 1840s and gained a reputation for superb quality in the 1960s and ‘70s. The proposed Pocket Peak AVA will distinguish between grapes grown at high elevation—including Stonestreet fruit—and grapes grown in the valley below.
