Red Lava
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Atlas Peak
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon bottling is produced from VinRoc’s Atlas Peak vineyard. Located at an elevation of 1,600 ft., where the vines are grown on a steep hillside of volcanic, lava rock soil. The rugged terrain produces small yields of highly concentrated flavors and aromas. Notes of graphite, licorice, cedar and tobacco are intertwined in this magnificent wine. We have selected our best barrel, the crème de la crème, for your unique wine.
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.
