The 2016 vintage of the Acre Cabernet Sauvignon is another classic representationof Napa Valley Cabernet with its deep ruby color to the immediately accessiblescents of white pepper, clove, and plum-spice cake, which continue on the palateand lead to abundant black fruit notes of black cherry, black currant, blackberry, and boysenberry. Full-bodied and rich with powerful structure and bright tannins,elements of crème de cassis, cola, and dried herbs unfold on the long and decadent finish. Stunning right out of the gate but will also age beautifully for years to come.

"This is nicely focused, with a core of red and black currant fruit that shows a lightly racy edge despite its muscle, with hints of mesquite and sassafras peeking through. A late hint of iron checks in on the finish, which already shows a hint of maturity. Drink now through 2025."
James Suckling - 90 Points
"Rather dried-fruit aromas with sultana and some berry-jam character, as well as chocolate and vanilla undertones. It’s medium-to full-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and a fruity finish. Interesting red in the end. Drink or hold."
