2021 Acumen Peak Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

TWI97 The 2021 Peak Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a swirl or two to coax out notes of blackcurrant jelly, black cherries, and mulberries leading to hints of licorice, tar, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is taut with dense, muscular black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Estate notes: Combining the power of Edcora Vineyard with the grace of Attelas, this alluring wine offers sweet and spicy aromas of cassis, black currant, flashy oak spice, cedar, roasted coffee and anise. On the rich, mounth-coating palate, fine-grained tannins frame the lush dark berry flavors, with hints of clove, cinnamon and vanilla bean emerging on the long, complex finish. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot 1033 cases produced.
