Mission Briefing
Grandest Napa
When Grand Napa offered us their 2015 Atlas Peak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, they declared that “This wine is the best wine that we’ve ever produced. You’re going to love it!” Our entire tasting panel agreed, this is their best wine to date. Mix and match with the Grand Napa Sauvignon Blanc on our home page for a lower overall price on 6.
Beautifully lush and fragrant, with delectable aromas of boysenberry jam, cassis, chocolate covered blueberry, plum, spice, cedar plank and a hint of black pepper. Juicy and bold on the palate, with flavors of Santa Rosa plum, cassis, leather, spice box, chocolate covered cherry, blueberry, dried fall leaves and a hint of white pepper at the end.
So, where did the fruit for today’s wine come from? We can’t tell you, but we can tell you that there are only about a dozen wineries that grow the premium fruit that grows on Atlas Peak. And those wineries produce some of the most sought-after, most exclusive and most expensive Cabernets in the Napa Valley.
This wine is very highly recommended!

Here’s what the wine press has to say.
