RATINGS

92+ The Wine Advocate

...heady scents of warm cassis, black raspberries and Morello cherries with touches of wild sage, tar, smoked meats, red roses and cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers bags of savory-laced black fruit with a soft, plush texture, finishing long and spicy.

91+ Jeb Dunnuck

Lots of redcurrants, framboise, rose petal, tobacco, and sandalwood notes...hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, some classic firmer mountain tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish...complex, elegant, balanced 2018...

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Atlas Peak

Atlas Peak AVA is perched above the Stags Leap AVA to the northeast of the city of Napa. Elevation ranges from 760 to 2,600 feet, and temperatures are up to 15 degrees cooler in the Atlas Peak vineyards compared with vineyards in the valley. There are 1,500 vineyard acres planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The appellation was named for Atlas Peak, which, at 2,633 feet above sea level, is the highest peak in the area.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
