Truly great wine has never been made where it’s easy.

Just seven miles west of Healdsburg—but an HOUR by truck—lies a vineyard planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Petit Verdot at staggering elevation. High above the fog layer, sunny days, frigid nights, and proximity to the Pacific make for a late-October harvest—if you’re lucky. The wind whips through the surrounding redwoods and oaks, stressing the vines and slowing harvest further, making for spectacularly flavorful fruit.

Atlas Vineyard Management company, trusted by Williams-Selyem and a suite of Sonoma County luminaries, tends these vines masterfully, ensuring even ripeness and healthy bunches.
