Acumen Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2013
This hot new project on Atlas Peak shows all the best aspects of mountain fruit: intense bouquet, rustic tannins, and pure red and blue fruit. The bouquet is loaded with wild blueberry, black cherry, lavender and violets. The texture is grainy and food-friendly, showing marvelous energy between the currant, plum, and mountain minerality. Enjoy over the next decade.
