Legacy Red

Red Blend Alexander Valley

DESCRIPTION

The Legacy Red Blend assembles Bordeaux varietals from superior vineyard blocks within Alexander Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot adding greater aromatic complexity and depth. This wine exhibits aromas of cassis, violet, fennel and mocha alongside a faint hint of bay leaf—a nod to the wine’s mountain provenance. Black fruit, graphite and forest botanicals cascade through a powerful textural presence held aloft by chewy tannins. Extraordinarily layered and complex, this wine will reward patience and will age easily for two decades.

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.
