About Atalon Winery
Atalon Winery is named for an invented word that evokes the raptor's talon — the gripping claw that seizes and holds. The 'a' prefix combined with 'talon' creates a word that sounds both ancient and contemporary, carrying the raptor's predatory precision as its philosophical foundation: once quality is seized, it will not be released.
The Howell Mountain and Napa Valley estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic mountain and benchland vineyard sources with the talon-grip philosophy the invented name implies — wine that holds onto its quality, that doesn't diminish or release what the vintage delivered. Wine Advocate has scored Atalon's Napa Valley Cabernet at 90–93 points.
