Dos Lagos Vineyards

Tom Dinkel and Marcie Hunt
of Dos Lagos Vineyards

The Dos Lagos Vineyards are nestled in the hills of the Atlas Peak AVA in Napa, California. A 22 acre property, there are 4 acres of premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

The altitude is approximately 1,650 feet. A rocky terroir, the volcanic rock is called "tuff." The vines are planted partially on the hillsides, sloping down to the two lakes.

The vines are exposed to hot summer days and cool nights. The coastal fog reaches the top of the vineyard. This special climate provides a long growing season, and harvest is generally mid-to-late October. The grapes are picked late as well in order to intensify their flavors, brought through the skins. These are truly ideal ripening conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon!

Hector Lopez is the vineyard manager. Bob Foley, known as "King of Cab" is the Winemaker for Dos Lagos Vineyards.
