RATINGS

95Jeb Dunnuck

Red and blue fruits, violets, spring flowers, toasty oak, and obvious minerality... With full-bodied richness, remarkable freshness, and gorgeous tannins...beautiful, elegant wine...

94+ The Wine Advocate

...gregarious scents of Morello cherries, blackcurrant cordial, wild blueberries and mulberries plus suggestions of cinnamon stick, clove oil, camphor and dark chocolate. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with expressive black fruit preserves layers, complemented by beautiful floral accents and supported with ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and with impressive energy.

90James Suckling

Blackberry jam, soil, chopped basil and fresh herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh flavors with a chewy, herbal character.

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.
