Winemaker Notes
The mountain-grown grapes of Atlas Peak produced an intense and age-worthy wine in 2011 with concentrated aromas of Bing cherry, red currant, plum, leather and wet stone. On the palate, dusty mountain tannins underscore layers of red fruit, with oak-inspired notes of cedar and baking spices adding complexity to this firmly structured wine.
