RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...offers hints of cracked pepper and fresh asphalt set against a solid bed of ripe blackberries. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely silky in feel yet structured, with a long finish.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...nose of ripe black and blue fruits, bacon fat, smoked game, and bouquet garni. It has medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, a terrific sense of freshness, ripe tannins, and a great finish.

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, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
