Description
Rombauer Vineyards presents a meticulously crafted Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a single, prized subsection of Block C. Hand-picked and selected using NDVI technology, these low-yielding vines thrive in shallow soils with minimal water, producing tiny, intensely flavorful berries. Aged for 16 months in the same barrels following basket pressing, the wine delivers exceptional concentration, full-bodied texture, and complex structure with bold tannins. Designed for savoring, sharing, and cellaring, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, site-specific expression of Atlas Peak’s wild and untamed mountain terroir.

Richie Allen
Winemaker, Rombauer Vineyards
Richie has worked as a winemaker in his home country of Australia, as well as in New Zealand, and here in the United States at Rombauer. He embraces traditional and cutting-edge practices in the vineyard and cellar to make certain each wine gets the customized attention it needs.
"At Rombauer we start at the vineyard level and work at each site to grow the best grapes possible. The fruit in turn guides the style. To make the best possible wine you can’t force the vineyard to produce a wine it’s not capable of. Understanding each site and its potential has dictated the style. Ripe concentrated wines, with natural balance. The winemaking, while very precise, is somewhat simple. It all revolves around getting the most out of each block and letting the fruit shine. Winemaking is a process of not messing it up. We don’t manufacture quality into the grapes, we just preserve it."
