About Atlas Peak
Atlas Peak is one of Napa Valley's most dramatic mountain appellations, with vineyards planted between 760 and 2,600 feet above sea level. Above the fog line, these high-altitude vineyards receive intense sunlight and cooler nighttime temperatures, producing deeply concentrated wines.
The volcanic soils here are thin and rocky, forcing vines to struggle for nutrients — which winemakers prize for the concentrated, mineral-driven wines it produces. Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its firm structure, dark fruit, and remarkable aging potential.
