Cobblestone

The Levine family has been growing grapes for award-winning California wines since 1975.  Cobblestone wines are made exclusively from the fruit of their two estate vineyards.

Near the Arroyo Seco River in the center of Monterey County lies the vineyard that gives Cobblestone its name. The 50-acre site is densely  packed with ‘Monterey Baked Potatoes’; not unlike the galets of the Rhône Valley in France, these stones improve drainage and reduce temperature fluctuations, enhancing the expression of the unique terroir that  is a signature of Cobblestone Chardonnay.

Situated high in Napa Valley’s Atlas Peak is a 25-acre mountaintop vineyard devoted entirely to Bordeaux varietals.  This is where Cobblestone Cabernet Sauvignon is grown.
