2018 VISTA RESERVE ATLAS PEAK PROPRIETARY RED

Vista’s 2018 Atlas Peak Red is the single most extraordinary $23 wine that I’ve tasted, and for that reason, it made my top 5 list in 2020. The wine has the concentration, depth, complexity, and balance that you’d expect from a remarkable $40-$50 bottle of high-elevation Napa wine, but at $23, it’s hard to wrap your head around how it can be that good, for the modest price. This vintage is a game-changer for superior quality, value-priced Mountain wines, and the 1,000 case production will fall far short of what’s needed to match demand once people taste it.

Predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, balanced with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2018 vintage envelopes your palate in a blanket of perfectly ripe berries laced with crushed violets, espresso bean, and rocky minerals.

The 2018 vintage spent 22 months in French oak barrels and emerges from one of the areas greatest vintages. If you’re looking for a wine that tastes like it should be at least double or triple the price, this is it.
