Why this bottle belongs on the list
Two selling points.
Then the market.
Phillip Titus. Same chair as the Cabernet Franc.
Thirty-five years at Chappellet, then Acumen. The PEAK Sauvignon Blanc is estate Attelas fruit, not a valley-floor contract. Same mountain as the Cabernet Franc, different grape.
1,300 feet. Volcanic gravelly loam. No malolactic.
Attelas was Dr. Krupp's Home Vineyard, planted three years before Stagecoach. Northwest exposure, cool mountain nights. Nine months in 40 percent new French oak and stainless. Harvest September 3, 2024.
