RATINGS

96James Suckling

...ripe black and blue fruit character with notes of dried tomato leaf, tobacco and chocolate. Full-bodied. An array of plush and developed tannins frame its succulent fruit compound...long and bright finish with a touch of fresh mint.

95Vinous / IWC

...opulent expression of fruit with the more savory, earthy notes typical of Atlas Peak. Scorched earth, tobacco, chocolate, cloves and leather all build in the glass. The mountain tannins are potent, but there is terrific fruit depth to balance things out. Superb.

95Wine Enthusiast

Rich and luxurious in blackberry and dark cherry, this mountain-grown wine offers a grip of powerful tension, structure and oak. Generous in style, with concentrated color and flavor, it offers additional notes of cigar, dried herb and thyme, polished on the finish in a hit of black pepper.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...notes of warm cassis, baked plums and juicy black cherries with hints of charcoal, damp soil and black olives. Full-bodied and fantastically concentrated, it has firm, grainy tannins and bags of freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing long and earthy.

93+ Jeb Dunnuck

It has some firm mountain tannins as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, plums, smoked tobacco, and loamy earth.

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.
