A mountain-grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Atlas Peak appellation, bottled at 14.8% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The 2014 vintage was awarded 95 points by Antonio Galloni.
Au Sommet draws fruit from a 45-acre property atop Atlas Peak at 2,100 feet above sea level. The 2014 vintage is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. The high elevation brings intense sun above the fog line and dramatic diurnal temperature swings, giving concentrated fruit, firm tannins and a mineral backbone.
High-toned red berries, Santa Rosa plum and blackcurrant lead the nose, with espresso, clove, tobacco leaf, cocoa and dried herbs. The palate delivers cassis, blackberry, earth, graphite, sweet tobacco, cedar and menthol, finishing long with bark, dark chocolate and graphite.
