The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Atlas Peak appellation is a beautiful example of a high elevation, cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon. Attractive notes of creme de cassis, blackberries, loamy soil and spice box jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-tinged wine. Layered, rich, full-bodied and impressively endowed, it is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot that should age well for 15+ years.

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
