Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage) "Aromas of cassis and ripe blackberries with dark chocolate, vanilla, sweet tobacco and overturned earth. Plush and dark-fruited with a full body, creamy texture and firm, velvet-like tannins. Long finish. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

About the Product

- Vineyard Notes
-
The west-facing Atlas Peak Vineyard sits in the Vaca Range on the east side of Napa Valley. At 1,600 feet above sea level and above the fog line, the climate is much different than that of the valley floor below, with cooler temperatures but full sunlight throughout the day. The volcanic soil and rocky topography stress the vines, yielding smaller berries and intense fruit flavors. The vineyard is Napa Green and Fish Friendly Farming certified.

- Winemaking
-
The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. 100% of this wine was barrel-fermented to provide a more textured palate and silky tannins. The wine was gently basket-pressed before being racked to French oak barrels for aging.

2018 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2023
Aromas of cassis and ripe blackberries with dark chocolate, vanilla, sweet tobacco and overturned earth. Plush and dark-fruited with a full body, creamy texture and firm, velvet-like tannins. Long finish. Drink or hold.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2021
A fragrant nose of ripe blackberries, blueberries, mocha, dried leaves, violets and wet stones. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Fruity and vibrant with a chalky texture on the palate. Racy and delicious. Drink or hold.
2014 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2017
This high-toned, well-made wine shows rich clove, tobacco and currant notes beneath its hit of acidity. Firm, woody tannins provide grip, with complexity and full-bodied weight.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2016
Avarietal wine from one vineyard, this wine opens in cinnamon stick and blackberry jam, leading the way to chocolatey leather on the palate offset by tingling acidity. Currant, blueberry and cedar also make appearances atop a full-body and lengthy, concentrated finish.
2019 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2024
When to drink: 2024
to 2042
