Features

2003 Ardente Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak, Napa Valley, 375ml 3-Pack

Atlas Peak is a difficult appellation to grow Cabernet Sauvignon in. An inhospitable landscape, late bud-break, early cool fall temperature swings accentuated by the mountain ridges will give any winemaker and grower fits of frustration. The 2003 vintage only amplified these challenges.

Ripe and plump on the nose, this wine is broad and complex, revealing oriental spices, cocoa, coffee, and black fruit.  It has ripe fruit and very good acidity, along with great depth and definition.

2004 Ardente Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak, Napa Valley, 375ml 3-Pack

The warm summer days of 2004, combined with cool evenings provided a perfect growing season for our Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The concentrated, well-ripened berries resulted in a dark red wine, with complex flavors of cassis, black currant and Bing cherries.

The wine spent 18 months in 225 liter French oak barrels, and aged another 36 months in the bottle, resulting in a luscious wine with moderate tannins and well balanced acidity. Truly a wine that can be enjoyed today, with the promise to steadily evolve in character with age.

Vendor Details

Ardente Estate Winery

Owners:
Carlo and Marie Francoise Di Ruocco
Founded:
1996
Location:
Atlas Peak, CA

Ardente Estate Winery was founded in 1996 on a twenty acre estate located in the quiet hills of Atlas Peak in Napa Valley. The area was selected for its rich volcanic soil, 1500 feet elevation and moderate microclimate which provide perfect condition for growing high quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Our wines are hand-crafted and aged to be enjoyed upon release, with a depth of flavor, great acidity and a promise of a long aging.

Carlo and Marie Francoise Di Ruocco founded Mr. Espresso, a specialty coffee roaster in 1978.  In 1992, Carlo and Marie Francoise were looking for a house in the Napa Valley for their retirement. 
After many months of searching they found a 20 - acre estate with five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, tucked away in the quiet hills of Atlas Peak in Napa Valley.  From the very beginning, they knew that there was something special about this place.

The warm arid climate and rocky, mountainous terrain was reminiscent of Carlo's home in Italy. The rich volcanic soil, 1500 - foot altitude, and more moderate micro-climate provided the perfect conditions for growing high quality Cabernet grapes.  Over time, Carlo and Marie Francoise slowly transformed this land to produce top quality Cabernet Sauvignon, traveling several times to France and Italy to research production and equipment. They worked with many different growers and enologists in the Napa Valley until the perfect combination could be achieved.  They decided on a French style Cabernet Sauvignon, inspired by the wines from the Medoc area. They planted an additional seven acres of Merlot, and one acre of Cabernet Franc.

The first vintage of estate Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted by Phillipe Melka, in 1996 and released in 2000.
