  Wow, for the past several months, I had this incorrectly listed as their "Napa Valley" CS and not their "Atlas Peak". It was terrific. As it was a gift, it was even better, but man... it was great with nice texture, balance, smooth and balanced. While I love Rutherford and Oakville, I do like the mountain fruit as well! Great Stuff!
  
  In digging into this wine a bit more, it looks like this vintage may also be the last Atlas Peak bottling from Hill Family Estate, so I better not wax too enthusiastically much about it as I'll probably never get it again. Bummer!
