Reviews:

• James Suckling: Sliced apples, pear skins, lemon rind, crushed stones and flint on the nose. Hint of vanilla, too. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a smooth, subtle palate.

• Wine Enthusiast: A light body, crisp texture and appealing lemon, thyme and snap pea flavors give this wine a charming, refreshing expression. It’s easy to sip and makes a very good palate cleanser.

Producer Information

Scattered Peaks is an elevated, artful spin on Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon carefully curated and elegantly crafted by wine industry icon, Derek Benham and legendary Napa Valley Winemaker, Joel Aiken. Leveraging their deep passion for and long history within the California wine industry, Derek and Joel curate superior fruit from coveted regions throughout Napa Valley. Their plunder is then aged in carefully curated oak barrels and artfully blended to achieve the high levels of quality and experience. Scattered Peaks is a creative marriage of Dereks greatest loves: surfing, skiing and wine. A powerful triple-entendre, the term Scattered Peaks refers to a surfing condition when waves approaching the shore split, creating different wave peaks. Secondly, the term signifies the many snowy peaks around the world that Benham has conquered with unmatched enthusiasm. Finally, Scattered Peaks refers to the winery’s vineyards dotted across the world-renowned Napa Valley.
