Rockfall Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

DESCRIPTION

Sourced from one of our highest elevation vineyards, the 2015 Rockfall Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon features a vibrant wildness that aptly expresses its rugged growing site above the fog line. Bold aromas of dusty plum, pomegranate, graphite and cedar overly nuanced undercurrents of pink peppercorn and mulling spices. This powerful wine's classically savory palate also displays hints of blueberry and dark chocolate, which lie in perfect balance to its generous structure and dense tannin profile.

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.
