DESCRIPTION
The 2011 Legacy is an apt showcase for the cooler vintage conditions of the year, exhibiting both high tone fruit and tremendous structural grace which winemaker Lisa Valtenbergs achieved through careful blending of bench and higher elevation blocks. Blueberry compote, black plum and purple flowers flood the nose while green peppercorn and star anise provide further back note complexity. Beautifully textured and seamless in the entry, the plateau's fruit elements are bolstered by savory and wet slate notes, with a finish lengthened by firm tannins.
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.
