Acumen’s Attelas Vineyard is a 32 acre site on Atlas Peak with a northwest exposure that makes for a brighter, more red fruit driven wine. Here, cherry liqueur aromas are joined by stony minerality, restrained toasty oak spice and dried herbs in both aroma and flavor profiles. They ride a firm structure through a long finish that will become a real bloomer with another 5 to 10 years in bottle. A very well made wine. Contains 4% Malbec.
