Atlas Peak 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

WE 91pts. - According to the Wine Enthusiast: A beautiful Cabernet that shows a firm structure of acids and tannins, with perfectly ripened fruit that seduces the palate but doesn't go overboard. Floods the mouth with black currants, black cherry pie filling and cedar flavors, but stays firmly dry and balanced. Now through 2012. Winemaker Notes - The quintessential Napa Valley Mountain Vineyard blend, grapes for this wine come from Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain. As harvest approaches, Atlas Peak's winemaking duo walks the vineyards – picking at full ripeness. Grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in ½-ton bins. Drawing from each mountain site, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with ripe dark fruits and blueberries, overlaid by subtle vanilla bean aromas. Well structured, with supple tannins.
