Meadowrock Estate sits at 1,400 to 1,760 feet elevation in the Atlas Peak AVA — one of Napa Valley’s most demanding and distinctive mountain appellations. The soils here are volcanic, derived from ancient rhyolite and andesite, jagged and mineral-rich in a way that valley floor soils simply are not. That volcanic character drives concentration, builds structure, and gives the wines a minerality and depth that is unmistakably Atlas Peak. The vines stress here. They dig deep. And what comes out of the ground reflects every foot of elevation. Most Napa vineyards look up at Atlas Peak. Meadowrock is on it.
The highest possible score. The G Red is sourced from the Meadowrock estate vineyard at Atlas Peak and represents the pinnacle of the Guarachi family’s winemaking. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, aged entirely in French oak. Brawny and muscular with a core of supple black fruit, iron, and grip — built to age but impossible to resist now. Dark plum, blackberry, iron, tobacco, and firm tannins with exceptional length. Grilled ribeye, lamb chops, mushroom risotto would all be perfect choices.
