Heritage & History
Driven by a passion for quality and a commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of their vineyards, the Levines embarked on a mission to produce limited-production wines that reflect the terroir of their estate.
Cobblestone Wines boasts a rich history, founded in 1971 by Saul Levine and his wife Anita. Their journey began with the acquisition of a 75-acre property in the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, marking the start of their dedication to crafting exceptional, estate-grown wines.
While the initial focus was on Monterey County, Cobblestone's pursuit of excellence led them to establish a presence in Napa Valley, specifically with a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in the esteemed Atlas Peak appellation. This expansion reflects their dedication to sourcing the finest grapes from prime locations.
Terroir & Vineyard
Cobblestone's commitment to estate-grown wines highlights the importance of terroir in their winemaking philosophy. Their Napa Valley vineyard, situated in the Atlas Peak appellation, benefits from the unique combination of elevation, climate, and soil that define this renowned region.
Beyond Napa, Cobblestone also sources Pinot Noir grapes from a select vineyard in New Zealand, showcasing their willingness to explore diverse terroirs and craft wines that express the unique qualities of each location.
Atlas Peak, known for its volcanic soils and cooler temperatures, imparts distinct characteristics to the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown there. These conditions contribute to wines with concentrated flavors, elegant structure, and excellent aging potential.
