WINE DESCRIPTION

Acumen Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Acumen Wines, a renowned winery located in the Napa Valley region of California. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Atlas Peak appellation, which is known for its high elevation and volcanic soils that impart unique flavors to the grapes. The vineyard features steep slopes and terraces that require hand-harvesting, ensuring only the best grapes are selected for the wine. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. This wine is a perfect example of the classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon style, with a long and elegant finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Acumen Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and complex wine that is bursting with flavors of dark fruit, cedar, and pepper.On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long, lingering finish. Its layers of complexity make it an ideal accompaniment to grilled meats and rich, savory sauces. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few more years to discover its full potential.
