Bold structure, bold fruit and, well, a bold finish have become a calling card for this winery, and the philosophy is on display again here. Full throttle Cabernet character rides sturdy tannins through a long finish where a rustic grip keeps the flavor coming. This is enjoyable now with a good decanting, or go in after about five years in the cellar. Contains 19% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc.
Acumen, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
