Chardonnay Alexander Valley
Product is historical and has a replacement SKU
BROWSING ONLY
DESCRIPTION
Sourced from 850 to 1,000 feet, the 2016 Red Point Chardonnay is fruit-driven and direct, with aromas and flavors of Asian pear, Fuji apple, pineapple upside down cake, and caramel apple. A full and luscious mouthfeel with yellow nectarine notes and pinpointed acidity keeps it all in check, a clear homage to the sites location under the fog line.

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.
