Acumen’s premium “Peak” line is built for aging, and this vintage shows age-worthy character with a sturdy backbone of mountain tannins and a brooding mix of blackberry, currants, dusty minerality and faint dried herbs that are already playing well together, and will broaden and deepen as the structure softens up a bit. This is a nice example of Atlas Peak possibility.
