Acumen

Located high above the fog, on the mountain slopes Napa Valley’s majestic Atlas Peak, the Acumen estate features 116 sustainable and organically certified acres of vines, spread across two remarkable vineyards. From these coveted grapes, the Acumen team crafts estate-grown wines, with a focus on mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Taking their inspiration from the legendary Napa Valley wines of the 1960s and 1970s, Acumen’s classically structured wines have earned acclaim for their beauty, balance and age-worthiness.

2015 Acumen PEAK Edcora Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Receives 100 Point Score

“A very impressive wine that hearkens back to the early days of the Napa Valley, when age-worthy structure and balance were king. Intense berry fruit aromas are joined by notes of fig, baker’s chocolate and savory hints of meat and dried herbs. It’s all there on the palate, with a rich earthy character in front at present that will feather itself into the mix with further aging. Perfectly balanced, nuanced and thought provoking, and a definite cellar trophy at what’s become a bargain price for such a wine. This isn’t a score I throw out very often, but there’s so much to offer here-I’m all in. Contains 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc.” – Rich Cook, Wine Review Online
