| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | Decanter Magazine Review. Rated 94. A long, three-week maceration period followed by fermentation in stainless steel with twice daily pumpovers and less stirring. Aged in 75% new French oak, separate lots were blended in 2020 and aged 18 months prior to bottling. From a volcanic site perched at 411m up Atlas Peak. Fragrant black cherry, blackberry, cured meat and dried rose petals. Elegant on the palate with those burly mountain tannins nicely in check. Perfectly integrated, layered with crunchy red berry fruit, plump blackberry and tangy acidity through a cocoa-tinged finish. Drinking Window: 2022-2036. Wine Tasting Notes. Lobo Wulff Vineyards Atlas Peak Napa Cabernet consistently provides all the steep hillside structure that mountain wine lovers seek. Dark ruby in the glass with an opaque core, the telltale intense dark berry fruit and minerality greet the nose. There is a dusty, almost chalky suggestion leading the aromas with bay leaf, roasted rosemary, Acai, plum and blueberry skin as well as fresh violets, rosemary blossoms and hints of distant lavender with a dash of nutmeg. The palate is both dense and elegant with round yet grippy tannins and a mouth-coating texture that lingers and evolves. Tension between cocoa, espresso and sweet blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit create a lovely interplay of layered flavor. Some herbal notes underlie the fruit, with bay laurel, roasted thyme and savory rosemary. It offers a persistent, long finish where its youthful power makes its presence known. |
