The mountain-grown grapes of Atlas Peak produce a Merlot with exceptional concentration and structure.
Description
Capturing and presenting Merlot's style and charm has been our primary mission since our founding. Our enthusiasm for Merlot is the stimulus for producing this 2010 Merlot grown in the Atlas Peak appellation. This Atlas Peak Merlot joins the good company of our Napa Valley and Reserve Merlot bottlings. The mountain-grown grapes of Atlas Peak produced a Merlot with exceptional concentration and structure in 2010. We were so impressed by this particular lot that bottling it as a single appellation wine was the natural step. This Merlot delivers the heft and structure expected balanced very gracefully on plush accessible tannins.
Tasting Notes
The aromas develop into darker notes in the mouth. Full-bides with velvety tannins, this wine has flavors of black cherry, dried cranberry and dark chocolate.
