Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews

Score: 94 | December 31, 2022 | Wine Enthusiast

Luxurious, saturated fruit aromas lead to a palate full of cooked blueberries, dark chocolate and mint in this mouthfilling and concentrated wine. Rich, fine-grained tannins give a velvety mouthfeel while the opulent black fruits keep echoing on the finish.

Score: 92 | November 15, 2022 | Wine Spectator

Ripe, with red and black currant fruit forming a solid core, but there's lift and freshness too, with floral and rooibos tea notes in the background. Nice acidity lends a racy edge, with an iron note underscoring the dark fruit-filled, toasty finish. Drink now through 2034. 148 cases made.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon District Collection Atlas Peak comes from a mountain terroir located in the southern part of the valley, a terroir that always seems to yield structured, tannic wines. Ripe black fruits, scorched earth, tobacco, and ample minerality define the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has building tannins, a focused, age-worthy profile, and outstanding length. Give it 2-4 years at a minimum.

Score: 94 | January 1, 2022 | Vinous/Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak is super distinctive. A whole range of earthy and savory undertones convey the essence of Atlas Peak. Grilled herbs, leather, menthol, gravel, licorice and scorched earth build nicely over time.

Reduced and undeniably earthy, this appellation wine tastes of cedar, pencil shaving and coffee. It is savory and tannic up front. Powerfully built, it ends in a strong jolt of oak. -Virginie Boone

Wild sage and bay leaf accents lead off, followed by a zesty core of black currant and blackberry fruit. A light juniper edge adds further interest on the finish. Keeps a fresh feel throughout. Nicely done. Drink now through 2028. -JM

Herbal in style, this aged red is leathery and powerful in oak and tannin. Black olive, nutmeg and blackberry combine around a hearty ripeness and lasting grip. -Virginie Boone
