winemaker's notes:

Atalon's singular focus on red Bordeaux varietal wines from Napa Valley has made them a part of this rich tradition. Atalon Cabernet Sauvignon blends the structure and intensity of mountain fruit with the lush elegance of benchland fruit – creating a silky wine with rich tannin and abundant fruit. Atalon's wines succinctly express the richness and complexity of Napa Valley because they select fruit from some of the most historic and proven vineyards in the area.

Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc

"A friendly wine, that makes a pleasing statement. Red fruit expression. Currants, leather, dried spice notes, then slightly mint, cedar tones, graceful cocoa powder structure - good length of lingering flavors."
-Winemaker, Thomas Peffer

Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
