Acumen’s “Mountainside” Cabernet is a generously styled Napa Valley offering that has the stuffing to make that generosity attractive and desirable. Full throttle blackberry, cassis, fall spice notes ride a rich texture through a fruit forward finish that gets a boost from some sweet oak toast. This is a fine solo quaffing wine, or it will go beautifully with fancy grilled burgers or steaks.
