7111 Highway 128, Healdsburg, CA 95448 Phone: 800-355-8008 Hours: 10am - 5pm, 7 days a week Club/Discounts: No Club Tasting Fees: $12 - $25 Depending on Flight I had heard about Stonestreet wines from a friend but had never been to the winery. We were at a wine event in Dry Creek and decided to call by to check them out. Stonestreet has over 5000 acres in their property with about 800 planted; they get mountain fruit from their vineyards in the Mayacamas Mountains over Alexander Valley. We had the place to ourselves when we turned up, and decided to try 3 different flights to get a good sampling of their wines. The wines are excellent. Amongst the best we have tried in Alexander Valley. Big mountain fruit, excellent Cabernets. The service was very good and the staff are attentive - my only complaint was the price of the wines as they are expensive. Well worth a visit though |

| We tried the 2000, 2001 and 2005 Black Cougar Ridge Cabs and the 2001 definitely was the best. Drinking very well, smooth with a long finish. Excellent wine |

 Best Wine - January, 2010
Christopher's Cabernet is from the highest block on the estate at 2400 ft. It is a stunningly rich wine, very well structured with long tannins. This wine will age well. Robert Parker gave it 96 points and we have to agree with him. A beautiful wine |

| Definitely would like to come back to this again. Big fruit, long tannins. Nice wine but seems pricey at $90 |
