Rombauer Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Atlas Peak 2012

Highlights:

Intrigued by the intensely expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from their Atlas Peak Vineyard, the Rombauer family produced their first single-vineyard designate from this site with the 2003 vintage.

The near-perfect 2012 vintage then blessed us with a long, warm growing season without temperature extremes. The result was high-quality fruit that made for soft, rich wines with well-developed flavors. The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the tanks. The wine was 60% barrel fermented and gently basket pressed before being racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging.

 Wine Facts:

• Sustainably produced

• This wine is 100% estate grown and bottled

• This is a single vineyard wine
