title: Acumen 2013 Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: This new project from the heights of Atlas Peak involves Steve Matthiasson as both viticulturist and winemaker, having had to take over the reins from the late Denis Malbec. It shines in bristling acidity, dusty tannin and a beautiful floral aroma of violet. Notes of chocolate, fig and cigar sit atop a pillowy, complex structure, while vanilla lingers on the finish.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Mountainside
