Dos Lagos Vineyards

Terroir

"Over the years, despite its rugged remoteness, the appellation has produced an abundance of intriguing volcanic wines acclaimed worldwide for their intense flavors and delicate, balanced tannins that have become the signature of Atlas Peak Mountain wines." Igor Sill, Atlas Peak Vintner and writer

The Vineyards

The soils are ancient and volcanic,. and the tuff is white at Dos Lagos. Soils tend to be fairly shallow and easily drained. Vine growth is limited, yielding small berries with thick skins. Structure, stony minerality and complexity are the result.

Dos Lagos Vineyards sits on some of the most sought after soils in all of Cabernet-land, and the grapes are so special that we offer 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that is 100% ESTATE grown. This is the most pure expression of the mountain Cabs.

Beautiful wines develop in well tended vineyards

Amazing grapes and a wonderful vineyard manager and crew make all of the difference-beautiful wines must first be well tended in the vineyard. Sun, soil, fog, all have an effect on the grapes. The fog at Atlas Peak cool the grapes in the evening. The sun warms and ripens-the perfect growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The flavors in our Cabernet grapes are in the skins.

Sustainability

At Dos Lagos vineyards, we are committed to using sustainable methods in our vineyards. Everything used in the vineyards must protect not only the vines, but the wildlife, fish and birds on the 22 acre property.
