Stonestreet
2010 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Lucy Shaw, The Drinks Business Top 15 Cabernet Sauvignons

Sourced from a handful of blocks situated on the spine of the primary mountain crest that runs through the Alexander Valley estate, the 2010 vintage includes a splash of Petit Verdot and Malbec to round out the Cabernet.

An elegant cabernet with great structure. Notes of black cherry, plum, herbs and cracked black pepper. Firm tannins. Nice length. An impressive holiday cab.

2010 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Gil Kulers, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, GA Wine of the Week - Two Thumbs Way Up

Abundant, rich aromas of blackberry, fresh ground coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of smoke and cedar. Bright, tart flavors of dark berries, dark chocolate, mincemeat pie and fine, well-integrated tannins.

2009 Rockfall Cabernet Sauvignon
Gil Kulers, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, GA Highly Recommended

I was thinking of Goose Island on a recent tour of Alexander Valley, Calif., when I was smitten by a particular cabernet sauvignon. With its dark, intense flavors of blackberry and dark cacao and its firm tannins, it certainly spoke to where the grapes were grown—wind-swept cliffs hanging high above the valley below. The owner of these vines explained that they typically vinify a mind-numbing 200-plus separate lots (some less than acre in size), each with its own unique characteristics. She also said that the 900-acres of vineyards (many of which cannot be accessed by tractors due to the extreme slope) are spread out over her 5,100-acre estate. The wine that bowled me over was the 2009 Stonestreet “Rockfall” Cabernet Sauvignon ($75). The owner in question is Barbara Banke. Banke’s “other” winery is Kendall-Jackson.

2009 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine Recommended. One star.

Fairly direct, sweetened by obvious oak and yet fixed on black cherries, this accessible, slightly ripe-leaning wine shows subdued hints of olives and herbs that very much say Cabernet. It is fairly supple and easy on the palate at entry, but it picks up enough tannin to end on a puckery note, and, if not built for the long haul, it still wants for at least a few more years of age.

2009 Christopher's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Bill St. John, Chicago Tribune, IL Wine Pick

Savors and scents as long as its name; sure, there is concentration at every level, but like many mountain wines it's all delivered so prettily, like a linebacker running on tippy-toes.

2007 Bear Point Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Fred Tasker, Miami Herald, FL Recommended

Alexander Mountain Estate, Sonoma County: youthful, closed and tannic with hints of cassis, mint and herbs; should age into an impressive wine.

...Stonestreet is producing wine every bit as good. Every one of its reserve wines will wake up the palate with exciting concentration, dense fruit flavors and great complexity. This is a stunning wine.

2007 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Bill St. John, Chicago Tribune, IL Highly recommended

Recommended as a wine to drink while reading An Ideal Wine: One Generation's Pursuit of Perfection - and Profit - in California by David Darlington: This cabernet from its Alexander Valley holdings is...pretty hefty, but delivers its power gracefully.

2007 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Recommended

...the 2007 Monument Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon ($45) uses grapes from special blocks ranging in elevation from 800 to 2,400 feet. Dark in color, it has huge black cherry and plum flavors with a touch of dried herbs and mineral.

2006 Christopher's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Rich Mauro, The Gazette, CO Highly Recommended - Great Gifts from California

The holidays offer a great excuse to splurge on a wine gift. If your target is high-end California Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, I suggest forgoing the quest for a cult wine. Instead seek out one of the great wines below...These wines are some of the best this winery has ever produced.

2006 Christopher's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Linda Murphy, Decanter Five Stars - Highly Recommended

Dense, opulent, exotic, wild blackberry fruit and Asian spice. Layered streaks of black chocolate, minerals and tobacco. Grippy tannins and brisk acidity. Will age well. From 2012.

2006 Christopher's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Recommended

Named after Jackson’s only son, the vineyard, planted in 1991, is at the highest elevation on the estate, some 2,400 feet up. The wine is an iron fist in a velvet glove: graceful yet powerful. It had concentrated plum and boysenberry flavors with a good dose of spice and a hint of dark chocolate.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
Editor, Wine Review Online Highly Recommended

This seems like classic Alexander Valley Cabernet, which always gives off an intriguing, foresty, piney scent to accent dark cassis and plum aromas. Its flavors are all in the blue and purple fruit spectrum, with an herbaceous background note that gives the wine elegance and complexity.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

Dense chocolatey nose. Rich, with concentrated black fruits, sleek but structured, but with freshness and persistence. From 2010.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Stonestreet wines have unique, complex flavors

Unlike the 2004, this wine is mostly cabernet sauvignon with only 5 percent blended with cabernet franc. The fruit is bright and redolent of blackberry and cherry flavors with hints of cedar and mocha. The 2005 won't be on the market for a couple of months.

2004 Legacy Red Wine
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Stonestreet wines have unique, complex flavors

This blend of Bordeaux grapes is a charmer. Using grapes planted 2,400 feet up, it has good complexity with a voluptuous mouthfeel. Ripe plums, dark chocolate, cherries and pure fruit flavors.

Ripe and showy, with cassis, red cherry and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Good acidity. Varietally correct.

2004 Christopher's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Stonestreet wines have unique, complex flavors

Wow, what a mouthful of complex fruit. Made in great years, this reserve wine is named after Mr. Jackson's son. Both are something for him to be proud of. It is a huge wine with firm tannins, cedar, mint and currant notes stand behind the layered black cherry, cassis flavors. Only 250 cases made, so it may be hard to find.

Stonestreet has produced a barrel-fermented, pleasant, crisp, elegant 1997 Gewürztraminer.

Stonestreet
1993 Gewürztraminer Anderson Valley
Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 2 Stars. A highly distinctive wine.

Simply loaded with the deep spice generally found only in the wines of Alsace, this potent bottling announces itself immediately with broad aromas of allspice, dried orange peel, oak and flavors and follows on with mouthcoating flavors of spice-infused fruit. Fairly weighty in the mouth and viscous in feel, it is both soft and lingering.
