We’re opening the SCRIBE Cellar with a trio of Napa Cabernets from Atlas Peak, hand-selected from the library by Adam and Andrew Mariani. 

Includes:
(1) 2011 SCRIBE Outpost East Cabernet Sauvignon / 750mL
(1) 2013 SCRIBE Atlas East Cabernet Sauvignon / 750mL
(1) 2014 SCRIBE Atlas East Cabernet Sauvignon / 750mL

Our Cabernet grows along the eastern slope of Atlas Peak in Napa, on an isolated vineyard composed of gravelly, volcanic soil and surrounded by lush California wilderness. Positioned above the fog line at an elevation of 1600 ft., the east and southeast-facing site sees cool morning sun followed by shade from the bright afternoon heat provided by the ridgeline. Even for this bigger style of mountain Cabernet, our approach to winemaking remains consistent–fruit is harvested when sugar levels are low to balance the wine’s powerful structure and depth with a light layer of brightness. Our limited production is vinified in steel and aged in oak barrels until ready for allocation.

* 2011 SCRIBE Outpost East Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
Boysenberry, Granite, Wild Lupine
A long, cold growing season with heavy maritime fog produced yields of concentrated focused,  high acid fruit.

* 2013 SCRIBE Atlas East Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
Blueberry, Pine, Granite
​​A classically warm and balanced spring with an early bud break. Cooler temperatures moving into the fall allowed for extended hang time and complexity without high sugar levels.

* 2014 SCRIBE Atlas East Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
Rosemary, Graphite, Blueberry
A temperate and consistent growing season. 2014's mild winter and late spring rains prompted early bud break and a warm summer encouraged excellent fruit set with even ripening and an early harvest.
