2018 | Atlas Peak | Cabernet Sauvignon

An intense character of ripe dark fruit, toasted oak, sweet spices and smoke. Full-bodied with sweetish, mellow fruit, ripe tannins and a long, fruity finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Made by Robert Pepi, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley includes 10% Howell Mountain Merlot and spent 30 months in 40% new French oak. It's fragrant and cedary on the nose, but the wood is backed by attractive cherry and loam shadings. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky in feel on the palate, finishing with decent length and echoes of cherries and vanilla.

• James Suckling: An intense character of ripe dark fruit, toasted oak, sweet spices and smoke. Full-bodied with sweetish, mellow fruit, ripe tannins and a long, fruity finish. 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. Drink or hold.

Producer Information

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is one of life’s great pleasures. Luscious berry fruit, multi-layered tannins, refined herbal notes and silky texture all combine to transport the wine lover to this incomparable California region, an area famous for long-lived red wines that offer wave after wave of drinking pleasure. Some of the world’s best vineyards dot the mountain tops, hillsides, and lowlands of the Napa Valley. Framing the valley are the cornerstone mountain appellations of Atlas Peak, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain District, and Mount Veeder. These areas provide ideal growing conditions for crafting bold, well-structured, ruggedly elegant wines—wines that can only come from great fruit and hard work in hard-to-reach places. To craft the Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, the winemakers work closely with vineyard partners to source the finest grapes from mountaintop and lower-elevation vineyards. They weave the fruit into a richly textured tapestry supported by a firm structure—a true “taste of Napa.” This wine, with its substantial length and enduring finish, bears testament to the elegance and refinement of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
