The 2018 Atlas Peak AVA Cabernet Sauvignon is stunning,
displaying a deep garnet color that immediately captures the
eye as it is poured into a glass. Well-married, intense
aromas of blackberry, dark fruit and hints of rich, toasted
walnut reach out of the glass, beckoning for a taste. The
flavors mimic the aromas, exploding on the palate with the
structure and weight one would expect from hillside
Cabernet Sauvignon, but especially from the premium
vineyard on the eastern slope of Napa Valley, where these
grapes are grown.
The hearty tannins are sufficient to
allow this wine to age for many years, but retrained enough
to also enjoy now.

The mountain top vineyards within the Atlas Peak AVA,
including Stagecoach Vineyards, provide the grapes for this
wine. With its rocky, volcanic, shallow soil, basaltic red in
color, and unique climatic conditions, this rugged area
provides all the ingredients for growing high-quality grapes.
After traditional fermentation takes place, the wine is aged
in French Oak barrels, of which 40% are new, for 30
months.

The label takes its inspiration from Greek mythology. Atlas
was a Titan condemned to hold up the celestial heavens for
eternity. According to Greek legend, Atlas stands at the
ends of the earth, in the west where the Nymphs of Golden
Sunsets (Atlas’ daughters) reign. He also played a role in the
myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes, Heracles (also
known in Roman mythology as Hercules), and Perseus.

The Atlas Peak AVA Cabernet Sauvignon is delicious on its
own or when paired with filet mignon, rack of lamb,
mushrooms and bold, aged cheddar cheese, as well as
chocolate truffles.
