DESCRIPTION
As a blend of our best Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard sites, the Estate bottling is one of the most compelling illustrations of the mountain. The wine is blended with shrewd precision, balancing aromatic intrigue, texture and the Mayacamas signature structural elements into a pure reflection of the vintage. The 2015 Estate Cabernet starts out with savory aromas of bay, bramble, sandalwood, and menthol. As the wine opens, deep fruit flavors of dark raspberry and plum begin to show. The palate is rich and inviting with supple tannins, incredible length and bittersweet chocolate notes on the finish.

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.
