Walt Ranch: Atlas Peak



Atlas Peak is nestled high on the eastern side of the Napa Valley in the Vaca Mountains. Above the fog line, this sub-appellation experiences cool temperatures but continuous, extended sunlight. While the sun exposure steadily ripens the fruit, the cool temperature and porous soils ensure good acidity. Grapes have been grown in this rugged landscape for nearly 150 years and the AVA has earned a reputation for yielding broad, robust fruit that echoes the sturdy, spirited landscape of the environs.

Walt is Kathryn’s maiden name and her family farmed and made wine under the Walt Vineyards label. This, the youngest of the HALL estate properties, is just now coming of age; 2009 was its first harvest.

It is quite a task to find Walt Ranch atop the Atlas Peak AVA at elevations ranging from 800 to 2,100 feet above sea level. The rugged mountain exposures of this land, in combination with the Aiken Volcanic soils are truly a viticultural jewel in the HALL vineyard portfolio. In all, we intend to cultivate nearly 300 acres of Bordeaux-style vineyard in this idyllic location.
