Red Lava
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
Atlas Peak
This is a unique single barrel bottling from our estate vineyard on Atlas Peak. Grown on a steep hillside at an elevation of 1,600 feet in the red rocky volcanic soil of Atlas Peak producing "Red Lava."
Winemaker, VinRoc
My wife and I built VinRoc from scratch. We learned and studied as we were planning and developing the vineyard and later building our winery. We soon found that Atlas Peak doesn't fit the textbook examples. The rugged rocky hillside that is the site of our Cabernet Vineyard required a different approach than the valley floor. My goal in making VinRoc is to produce a wine that truly reflects the unique qualities of our vineyard.
