DESCRIPTION
Sourced from vineyards grown between 850 to 1,000 feet elevation, the Red Point Chardonnay is fruit driven and unwavering. Bright aromas of orange blossom and tangerine are complimented on the palate with flavors of ginger and vanilla. Luscious and full in mouthfeel with lingering flavors of a childhood favorite, fruity gummies, and bright acidity a clear homage to the fruit development from the vineyard locations on the mountain 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.
