Atlas Peak
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Definitely interesting, but leaves a bitter/sweet taste that lingers...

Jul 14th, 2018Winemaker Notes
The 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays deep purple-red color with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, sage, hint of bay leaf, chocolate. Full-bodied yet balanced with equal measures of dark fruit, classic dried herb notes, and varietal Cabernet spice.

A perfect picture of a Napa Valley AVA Cabernet, the 2012 Atlas Peak deftly combines the AVA's of Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain, Mt. Veeder and Atlas Peak to bring us flavors of ripe red and black currants, a hint of dust and firm, sweet tannins. Drinks very well now and sure to get even better with a bit of time. Winemaker Ondine Chattan has consistently produced wines of great style and elegance and this wine fits well in the scenario. Enjoy this one with seared beef over freshly tossed salad greens.
