Atwater Vineyards

The 2023 Cabernet Franc is an agile yet fleshy wine, displaying both fruity and earthy characteristics. It was fermented in stainless steel for 19 days before being pressed off and barrel-aged in neutral French oak for 10 months. This wine saw no sugar or acid adjustments, nor was it fined-- keeping it vegan-- or heavily filtered; remaining true to its vintage and the soil it came from. 

A light, refreshing, lower-alcohol chillable red that pairs perfectly with holiday meals or low-key pizza and pasta nights.

Our Rosé 2023 is deep in both color and flavor. Reminiscent of Rosé from Tavel, France, ours is a blend of 82% Barbera and 18% Blaufränkisch–both known for their dark skins. Red berries on the nose sharpen to expressive strawberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate arils on the palate. A crack of black pepper, chalky minerality, moderate acidity, and a supple mouthfeel make this a great dry wine for pairing heavier faire. Your summer barbeque wine.

You might notice the deeper color of our 2024 Pétillant Natural Zweigelt/Diamond. This year, we decided to amp up the Zweigelt (65%!), resulting in more color, flavor, and fun. Notes of cranberry and red cherry lead on the nose, joined by watermelon, pomegranate, and raspberry on the palate. The wine is crisp, light-bodied, and low-alcohol. Perfect for pairing with snacks like chips and salsa or nachos.

Symvolí is the Greek word for confluence: where two or more bodies of water join or where people or things come together. This embodies Atwater’s signature red blend, a merging of red fruit inspired by our belief that wine is created through the interconnections among our sun, moon, earth, vines, and people. The medium-body wine is a handcrafted blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot providing a layered and complex choreography of flavors, with berry notes up front leading to a peppery finish. Easy drinking with pizza or pasta, aged cheddar with charcuterie, and red meats. Yamas!
