2019 Atlas Peak 'AVA' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Atlas Peak’s mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon is a Napa marvel, rich with the weight of its mythological namesake. Intense aromas of dark plums, cherries, and cocoa reach out, pulling you in for lush notes of cassis, brown butter, and a warm finish of cinnamon spice. Sourced from the storied, volcanic soils of Atlas Peak AVA, including Stagecoach Vineyards, this wine showcases the terroir’s rugged beauty and structure. New winemaker Derek Irwin honors tradition while lending fresh artistry, balancing this wine’s fleshy depth and strength for a cellar-worthy Napa classic.

Great concentration comes with a smooth texture and good balance in this deep, complex and layered wine. Black fruits, dark chocolate, and cassis are wrapped in a velvety texture of fine-grained tannins as this seamless wine soars into a lingering finish. Best 2028–2040
