Acumen Description

Winemaker Notes

From its inviting cherry and black currant aromas to its hints of vanilla, sage, and clove, this wine displays lovely French oak-inspired layers of sweetness and spice. The lush, dark berry layers echo on the beautifully balanced palate, where elegant, fine-grained tannins and an energetic beam of acidity frame the generous fruit flavors while carrying the wine to a long fruit and spice finish.

Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Malbec

Professional Ratings

93Wine Enthusiast

Rich with concentration and palate-coating flavor, this wine is approachable and satisfying. Toasty oak aromatics couple with flavors of black fruits, sweet tobacco and freshly ground coffee. Abundant while velvety tannins persist into a long finish.

COMMENTARY: The 2021 Acumen Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon speaks of hillside purity. Winemaker Phillip Titus captures the wine's true essence. MY TASTING NOTES: This wine offers bold black fruits and mineral notes. Pair it with a rare slice of prime rib. (Tasted: November 28, 2023, San Francisco, CA)
90Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Black cherries and cassis appear on the nose of Acumen's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountainside. Despite the fruitiness on the nose, the palate is somewhat tannic and savory, making for a nicely balanced wine that could easily partner steak or chops in its youth. Medium to full-bodied, it finishes with softly dusty tannins and a touch of black olive.
90Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe red and black fruits, iron, leafy tobacco, and spice notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountainside, a medium-bodied, supple, undeniably delicious, well-made Cabernet Sauvignon with soft, nicely balanced tannins, good purity, and outstanding length. It's up-front, charming, and shows the classic, balanced style of the vintage. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years or so.
