Au Sommet
Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
I kind of wish I could say this was some over-hyped grape jelly juice...BUT damn if this isn’t like drinking the Batmobile. Sleek and dangerous and just coursing with power and energy. Just so much yes here, so so much.

Dec 12th, 2017Extremely powerful. As a 2013 it was way too young to be opened. There is great promise when it gets a few more years to age. Super rich black fruit, currant and chocolate. Once the immediate oak influences integrate it should be amazing.

Apr 27th, 2019Just had my next to last bottle of the 08. Wow. Very nice aging. Opened up after about 2 hours. Paired well with some 4yr cheddar and a seasoned prime chop. Fruit is complex and varies as the wine breathes. Great wine from one of the best makers. Hint. Try her work wth Fantesca as well. Also a great creation. Cheers!!
