Acumen
Mountainside Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA

This was an interesting one, picked up for $20 but I think it retails for over $40. At the $20 price point, it delivers. Dark fruited, tobacco, vanilla...lavishly oaked. It’s a wine that was proudly made and a more than decent quaffer but it’s not terribly exciting. At the normal price, it wouldn’t be very good QPR IMO.

The Year of the Quake in Napa!! 2014 represents one of the best vintages of the decade...mouth-coating flavors of blueberries, plums, and spices with pleasant ripe tannins & notes of toffee, fresh sage and cigar box on the long and pleasant finish.
