Before Scribe even had a name, they knew this remote site atop Atlas Peak in southern Napa Valley was where they wanted to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. The cold, bright mornings give way to sunny afternoons, but the vines are spared from the sun's heat by gentle breezes coming off the San Pablo Bay. The soils here are dominated by red volcanic material with lots of flat rock, providing exceptional drainage. Yields are small and the fruit is intense and expressive, tasting of the mountain's stony red earth and dense thickets of California chaparral. They are gentle in the cellar to preserve this special terroir, restraining the use of new oak, fermenting with native yeast and bottling the wine unfined and unfiltered. It is Napa mountainside Cabernet through the Scribe lens, still tasting of its place above the fog line - bright, wild and pure.
