2023 Au Sommet Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Au Sommet (o-so-may)...To the top, the very highest point at which we excel at what we do!

We are pleased to offer you a 3-bottle allocation of Au Sommet 2023.

The 2023 harvest in Napa Valley will go down as one of the best of the 21st century. Unlike the 2022 growing season which saw an erratic weather pattern with heat spikes during harvest, the 2023 vintage was a winemaker’s dream. Due to our elevation, the vineyards were able to soak in a mild, consistent, long growing season. This allowed for the phenolics and tannins to properly develop producing dark, small and concentrated berries. Higher-than-average rainfall allowed our vines to dig deeper into the volcanic soils providing the desired richness of minerality and earthiness to the fruit. You will definitely notice this is the purity of the wine. Au Sommet Cabernet Sauvignon never tastes like most Napa Valley heavy-hitting piers...and if you know, you know! Au Sommet 2023 will be one of our best!

We produced a couple dozen 1.5L Magnums and even fewer 5L Jeroboams. All large formats are hand-signed by Heidi.

We plan to ship these wines to you next Fall, 2025. You may submit your order form to reserve your allocation.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2022 Vintage
"This Atlas Peak-based project boasts Heidi Barrett as the winemaker. After not producing any wine in 2017, 2018 or 2020 because of possible smoke taint, the 2021 and 2022 have been excellent efforts. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon epitomizes Barrett's classic, balanced style, with subtle shadings of cedar and vanilla framing black cherries and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied, silky textured and long on the finish, a true thoroughbred that should drink well for 20 years or so."
