| Atelier’s husband and wife team left the Silicon Valley six years ago to relocate to the wine country town of Healdsburg in rural Sonoma County. She, already a winemaker by profession, and he, a project manager, dreamed of marrying their individual talents to create a small, family winery where they would produce boutique wines that were reflective of their passion for great wine and their love of the worldwide wine country lifestyle. After diving into this pursuit by producing a barrel or two of Zinfandel and Syrah in their garage they rented space from a friend at another boutique winery and started their commercial wine venture in 2002. | Healdsburg, CA

Zinfandel

2004 Rockpile Zinfandel
Effusive with ripe plum and briar berry fruit our Rockpile Zinfandel showcases the broad range of spice for which this varietal is known. Cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and sandalwood ... more aromas follow from the nose through to the palate. Fifteen months in French and American oak barrels added structure and depth to complement the vibrant fruit and spice. The exotic array of aromas and flavors makes this Zin a perfect partner to kabobs, mesquite-grilled vegetables and meats or middle-eastern fusion cuisine. As is typical in our wines a subtle suggestion of the earth on which the grapes were grown lingers in the wine and delivers an inimitable sense of place.

Syrah

2003 Alexander Valley Syrah
The allure of Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley has captured our winemaking interest and enticed us to purchase from an exquisite boutique Syrah vineyard in the town of Asti. The ... moregently rolling hills and the warm, long days in the northern Alexander Valley allow the three different clones of Syrah planted on this ranch to mature to optimum ripeness. The result is an inky-dark, voluptuous wine of uncommon depth and character. This wine matured in a blend of French and American oak for eighteen months and was released in March 2005. Flavors of ripe plum, dusty briar berries, and a truffle-like note make this intriguing Syrah a wine to look forward to.
