ATLAS PEAK

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is one of life’s great pleasures. Luscious berry fruit, multi-layered tannins, refined herbal notes and silky texture all combine to transport the wine lover to this incomparable California region, an area famous for long-lived red wines that offer wave after wave of drinking pleasure. Some of the world’s best vineyards dot the mountain tops, hillsides, and lowlands of the Napa Valley. Framing the valley are the cornerstone mountain appellations of Atlas Peak, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain District, and Mount Veeder. These areas provide ideal growing conditions for crafting bold, well-structured, ruggedly elegant wines—wines that can only come from great fruit and hard work in hard-to-reach places. For the Atlas Peak wines, winemaker Ondine Chattan works closely with vineyard partners to source the finest grapes from mountaintop and lower-elevation vineyards. She weaves the fruit into a richly textured tapestry supported by a firm structure—a true “taste of Napa.” These wines, with their substantial length and enduring finish, bear testament to the elegance and refinement of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ondine Chattan

Ondine has over a decade of winemaking experience with a constant focus, and passion for, Zinfandel. Her interest in nature and science began at an early age when she explored the marshlands near her home, studying insects and flowering plants. Her curiosity for science grew over time into a love of biology and chemistry, which produced a Master’s in Oenology. What better career than wine-making, a profession that marries the fundamentals of science with the beauty and art of nature. Ondine believes that the history of a vineyard is as much a part of terroir as climate, soil, clones and the physical age of the vine. Using traditional winemaking techniques but always striving for the new, she endeavours to produce wines that are a tribute to their vineyard, yet an elegant expression of the Zinfandel grape.
