Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 1997

...It is an accessible, multi-layered wine with tons of licorice and black fruit flavors, a voluptuous texture, and an expressive, flamboyant personality that offers even more rich fruit than it does toasty oak. At 14.2% alcohol, this is a boldly-styled, fleshy, full-bodied wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 1997

Stonestreet does exceptionally well with its "big reds," such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and their proprietary red wine called Legacy. The 1995 Legacy (a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Merlot and Petit Verdot) has been aged for nearly 2 years in 100% new French oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is an accessible, multi-layered wine with tons of licorice and black fruit flavors, a voluptuous texture, and an expressive, flamboyant personality that offers even more rich fruit than it does toasty oak. At 14.2% alcohol, this is a boldly-styled, fleshy, full-bodied wine that can be drunk or cellared for 15 years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 1998

Saturated ruby-red. Perfumed aromas of cassis, graphite and toasty oak. Spicy, intensely flavored and tight on the palate; currently dominated by its firm acid/tannin structure. But quite long on the back end. Wears its 14.3% alcohol gracefully. 90(+?) points

Wine Spectator, November 1998

Tight, rich and concentrated, with tiers of coffee, currant, anise, sage and berry, it slowly unfolds to reveal its treasures. Finishes with well-integrated tannins and fine length...

About Winery

High above California's Alexander Valley stand the towering Mayacamas Mountains, home to Stonestreet's rugged Alexander Mountain Estate. This epic, untamed landscape is both challenging and rewarding when it comes to growing grapes.

With less than 800 of 5,100 acres planted to vine, this extreme expanse doesn't take kindly to direct orders. Comprised of 400 separate vineyard blocks aligned with the contours of the mountain, the Estate is an intricate puzzle of peaks, valleys and ridges that create a broad spectrum of aspects and facings. The story of Stonestreet is the story of commitment to uncovering the true potential of this special land.
