Atlas Peak American Super Tuscan 2018 Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes
The American Super Tuscan blend features 62% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Napa Valley, namely Howell Mountain where the fruit is grown on steep hillsides and lends great structure to the wine. The 38% Sangiovese comes from Rutherford and Calistoga AVAs – valley floor fruit which offers rich complexity. The blend was barrel aged in French oak for 30 months.

Interesting Facts
The label takes its inspiration from Greek mythology. Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the celestial heavens for eternity. According to Greek legend, Atlas stands at the ends of the earth, in the west where the Nymphs of Golden Sunsets (Atlas’ daughters) reign. He also played a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes, Heracles (also known in Roman mythology as Hercules), and Perseus.
