2016 Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon shows deep black fruit, especially blackberry and cassis, with hints of mocha, tobacco, and oak spice.
The palate is concentrated and structured, with firm tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish that keeps it feeling mountain-grown rather than overly plush. It has the kind of balance and seriousness that will appeal to fans of classic Napa Cabernet, with a profile that can bring to mind a more restrained left-bank Bordeaux style. Clean and polished, it should drink well alongside grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or a mushroom tart.
