Red Blend Alexander Valley

BROWSING ONLY
DESCRIPTION
Blessed with a complex aroma and flavor spectrum, Legacy also features a tremendous textural presence derived from artful blending from bench and higher elevation blocks. Cherry compote, black raspberry and candied orange peel flood the nose while maple and star anise provide further back note complexity. Richly textured and seamless in the entry, the palates vivid fruit is bolstered by bay leaf and a bracing orange peel quality and a finish lengthened by ultra-fine cocoa powder tannin.

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.
