With our PEAK Sauvignon Blanc, we seek to reflect our rugged mountain terroir in a refined, elegant, and age-worthy white wine. The grapes are sourced exclusively from 2 blocks of Sauvignon Blanc vines in our high-elevation Attelas Vineyard, which produces unique berries of intense fruit character and vibrant acidity.  Located in the famed eastern mountains of Napa Valley, our Attelas Vineyard was first planted in 1992 and was the original ‘home vineyard’ of legendary winegrower Dr. Jan Krupp. Attelas is situated at approximately 1,300 feet and features 32 acres of vines, planted in volcanic, clay, and loam soils. With a predominantly northwest exposure, Attelas is a cool site in a cooler appellation, making it ideal for our complex and structured style.

Bringing together the best of both worlds from our Attelas and Edcora estate vineyards, this wine balances the concentration and power of great mountain-grown Cabernet, with a layered complexity that reflects the diversity of our estate vineyards. Luxurious aromas of blackberry and black cherry leap from the glass, followed by sophisticated nuances of dried herbs, cedar, sage, and dusty earth. On the palate, this wine is generous and alluring, with dramatic dark berry and spice flavors, rich, mouth-filling tannins, and an age-worthy structure that reflects its high-mountain origins.

Located in Napa Valley’s famed eastern mountains of Napa Valley, our Attelas Vineyard was first planted in 1992 and was the original ‘home vineyard’ of legendary winegrower Dr. Jan Krupp (predating his famed Stagecoach Vineyard by three years). Attelas is situated at approximately 1,300 feet and features 32 acres of vines, planted in volcanic, clay, and loam soils as a mosaic of 20 vineyard blocks— including eight blocks and six different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. Attelas also includes plantings of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Tempranillo. With a predominantly northwest exposure, Attelas is a cool site in a cooler appellation, making it ideal for our complex and structured style.

Located a half-mile away from our Attelas Vineyard, and approximately 350 higher up the mountain, Edcora (which neighbors the famed Stagecoach Vineyard) features shallow, iron-rich volcanic soils atop a hard layer of volcanic andesite.  This unique soil makeup provides excellent drainage while concentrating the energy of the vines on ripening the fruit. Together, these factors produce the small berries and thick skins that are treasured by mountain winemakers. Edcora is planted to 78 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon spread over 20 individual blocks, along with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. With a southwest-facing exposure and an ideal high-elevation climate, Edcora enjoys a long growing season that ensures ideal ripeness, depth, complexity, and phenolic concentration.

This lovely pale and golden straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc begins with a bouquet of citrus blossoms, fresh tangerines, Bosc pear, and jasmine. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine continues with flavors of ripe white grapefruits, mandarin oranges, and caramelized Meyer lemon cream along with notes of pineapple rind, lemon verbena, and wet slate. Clean acidity and pleasant texture frame the long and pure finish of this enjoyable and refreshing wine. 

From its captivating golden-hued pink color to its enticing aromas of sweet strawberry, crisp red apple, pomegranate, blood orange, and rose petals, this is a beautifully vivacious rosé. Bright and energetic on the palate, it gracefully expresses the more delicate aspects of our estate-grown Merlot, with lively layers of wild strawberry, cherry, and flowers that linger throughout a lush, focused finish.

This full-bodied wine starts with fragrant aromas of ripe blackberries, potpourri, freshly turned earth, and Chambord. On the palate, we find mouth-coating flavors of blueberries, Santa Rosa plums, and baking spices with a pleasant grip of ripe tannins coupled with notes of toffee, rhubarb compote, fresh sage, and cigar box on the long and pleasant finish. 

Wine Advocate
“Deep purple-black colored, the barrel sample of 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountainside reveals open-knit notes of blueberry compote, plum preserves, and red and black currants with nuances of tilled soil, underbrush, bouquet garni, and mossy bark. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, and fresh with a chewy frame and earthy finish.” (89-91) Points: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines -Lisa Perrotti-Brown, November 2019

From the classic Grand Cru village of Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for its razor-sharp acidity, comes this elegant vintage Blanc de Blancs champagne. Delicate aromas of citrus and green apple are given weight by a lightly creamy, biscuit texture. Acidity is nervy and cutting, still very fresh over eight years after the vintage. A long, persistent, subtly spicy finish completes this keenly priced wine.

Gonet is a very old name in Champagne. The family moved to Champagne from the Beaujolais in the 15th century and worked in the vineyards before establishing a Champagne house in the early 1800s. Each subsequent generation helped lay a foundation for a successful domaine with the most recent patriarch, Michel Gonet, enlarging the cellars in Avize and refocusing their winemaking in the 1970s. The total holdings are around 40 hectares, consisting mostly of Chardonnay on the Côte des Blancs. The vines are located in the villages of Le Mesnil sur Oger, a little further south, in Vindey on the Sézannais hillsides, and also near Troyes, on the slopes of Montgueux.

92 Points: "Opening in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of white currants, citrus oil, warm bread, and wet stones, Gonet's 2011 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is full-bodied, deep, and tensile, with a racy spine of acidity, a fleshy core, and a long, saline finish. Mineral and elegantly austere, this is nonetheless beautifully balanced and represents a decided success in a challenging vintage." Wine Advocate
