John Schwartz's 2015 Au Sommet is superb. Nuanced, polished and super-delicious, the 2015 possesses exceptional finesse and texture in the mid-weight, gracious style that is Heidi Barrett's signature. The flavors are dark and incisive in this dark, sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Even so, the 2015 retains terrific freshness for the year. Black cherry, lavender, graphite, plum and menthol add striking layers of nuance.

A very polished and pretty fruit-forward red with currant and berry character. Full body, round and compacted tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now or hold. (12/2017)

Lastly, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Sommet comes from the top of Atlas Peak and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as a classic mountain style bouquet of red and black currants, resinous herbs, flowers, cedar wood, and candied orange peel. With full-bodied richness, it demonstrates the quality of this great vintage, offering terrific concentration, building yet ultra-fine tannins, and a terrific sense of freshness paired with plenty of power. While it’s drinking well today, I suspect it will continue to develop additional complexity with 2-4 years of bottle age and should have two decades of overall longevity. (01/2021)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up exuberant crushed blackcurrants, warm plums, wild blueberries and cloves with suggestions of violets, tilled black soil, tar, chargrill and cedar chest with a waft of unsmoked cigars. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and refreshing with incredible intensity, finishing very long and earthy.
