Planted at an elevation from 1,400 to 1,760 feet, the Guarachi Family Wines estate Bordeaux style vineyard of 28-planted acres reflects the best of Atlas Peak, exhibiting rocky volcanic soil in a jagged, mountainous landscape. Although subject to the typical maritime afternoon and evening cooling, the area tends to avoid the fogs that spill into the rest of Napa Valley. As such, Atlas Peak is influenced by full sunlight during the day, and the temperature drops at night, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Meadowrock is located northeast of Napa, primarily within the Foss Valley and Soda Canyon areas.

Above the fog line of Atlas Peak, the windy 32-acre Meadowrock Vineyard sits on rocky volcanic soils. Aged 22 months in French oak and coming in at 14.8% ABV, this wine takes a majestic stance. Regal but not austere, it generates immense flavors of blue-black fruit; a brightness arises along with wound-up tannins ready to unfold on the palate, which opens to minerality, sweet tobacco, slate, and a parade of dried flowers. The initial push of vivid raspberry and currant picks up herb and earth notes, gaining a measure of elegance and grace before ending with firm tannins.
