This year marks the inaugural vintage of Fifth Ridge, a red wine blend named for Stonestreet’s Alexander Mountain Estate, the fifth ridge from the Pacific coastline. The fruit in this wine came from our Alexander Mountain Estate ridgetop vineyards 1,000 - 2,000 feet above sea level. Tasting Notes: "Ruby-purple in color, this wine leads with notes of raspberry, chocolate and coffee on the nose, followed by a lush palate of fresh plum and cherries. Cabernet Sauvignon was blended in to provide added structure and complexity, and Cabernet Franc contributes lush aromatics." - Graham Weerts, Winemaker :: Return to Main Wines Page Appellation  Alexander Valley Vineyard Elevation  1,000 to 2,000 feet Varietal Composition  77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah, 4% Cabernet Franc Fermentation  Native and inoculated yeasts Barrel Regime  14 months in small, French oak barrels, 45% new Alcohol  14.2% Acidity  0.59g/100ml pH  3.59 TRADE     PRIVACY POLICY © 2005-2007 Stonestreet Winery
