Proprietary Red Atlas Peak 2022
Retail: $170.00 | Wine Club: $136.00
VINTAGE NOTES
Late winter rains followed by ideal spring growing conditions set the stage for the 2021 vintage. Mild temperatures punctuated this drought year with only a few heat spikes during the summer months that led to early ripening and allowed us to harvest some early blocks with incredible old-world charm and intriguing complexity. Grapes that were harvested later benefitted from the longer hang time and ripened perfectly, displaying great depth with distinct regional character. The ideal weather of 2021, coupled with lower yields, produced wines that offer intense aromatics and flavors with excellent aging potential.
VINEYARD SOURCES
Historically known for the Stagecoach trail that passed through here on the way to Sacramento and Monticello, Atlas Peak was first developed in the 1970’s. Atlas Peak is a great example of Napa Valley’s diversity, a rocky amphitheater situated at 1,200 feet in the heart of the Vaca Mountains and close to San Pablo Bay. The net effect is warm days and cool nights that provide ideal ripening conditions and concentrated grapes that have excellent aging potential. In 2022, the proximity to San Pablo Bay was crucial for cooling vineyards during a warmer than usual beginning of September.
