Stonestreet Vineyards Tasting, Scottsdale—3:00 to 4:45 PM

An Evening with Stonestreet: Mountain-Born Elegance

Stonestreet: Crafted from High-Elevation Majesty

Founded in 1995 by Jess Stonestreet Jackson and Barbara Banke, Stonestreet Estate Vineyards sits atop a 5,500-acre mountain estate in the Mayacamas Range above Alexander Valley. Today, Chris Jackson and Ariel Jackson continue this legacy, stewarding a landscape of dramatic elevation—ranging from 400 to 2,400 feet—across micro-vineyards, peaks, and valleys. Only one-third of this rugged land is planted, preserving a rich tapestry of native biodiversity.

The result? Wines carved from a mountain terroir—expressive single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, soulful Chardonnay, and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc—each echoing the mineral depth, elegance, and focused structure that high-altitude growing demands.

The Lineup

Join us for a rare tasting event at Vinum 55, led by Erik Ackerman, the Senior Vice President of Direct‑to‑Consumer for Jackson Family Wines. With deep expertise in DTC strategy and hospitality, Erik brings a unique perspective to the graceful power and terroir-rich sophistication of Stonestreet Estate Vineyards.

What to Expect at the Tasting

• Guided by Expertise: Erik will walk you through the story of Stonestreet’s mountain estate—from its varied soils and microclimates to its restrained planting philosophy and wildlife-friendly practices.

• Wines that Speak of Place: You’ll taste a curated flight that captures the estate’s diversity—Cabernets that balance precision with power, Chardonnays with mineral clarity, and Sauvignon Blancs with vivid energy.

• A Mountain’s Tale in Every Glass: Expect vivid flavor profiles shaped by elevation, small berries, and intense terpene and mineral expression—highlighting the unique interplay between land and vine.

• Elevated Experience: This is more than a tasting—it’s a top-to-bottom sensory journey guided by an industry leader who knows how to make wine stories come alive.

We can’t wait to see you there!
