® Acre 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Tasting Notes The 2014 ACRE Cabernet Sauvignon displays a vivid deep garnet color. It is beautifully fragrant with aromas of black cherry, boysenberry compote with notes of cedar and baking spices. These characteristics carry through in the mouth with added hints of leather and black licorice. The texture is silky and sensuous, with enough acidity to keep it lively, supported by a beam of fine tannins that carry the flavors seamlessly from entry to finish. The persistent and aromatic finish is particularly noteworthy. Growing Region – Oakville & Yountville AVAs The 2014 ACRE Cabernet Sauvignon comes entirely from family-owned estate vineyards which lie between the Oakville Cross and Yountville Cross roads, thus encompassing portions of the Oakville and Yountville AVAs. These vineyards, which have been farmed organically for over 28 years, are at the very heart of the Napa Valley and are known for fragrant, expressive fruit with supple fine tannins. Vintage While 2014 was considered the third of a series of drought years, the winter rains were sufficient to nourish the vines, and the growing season began several weeks earlier than normal and proceeded evenly without the heat spikes that often provide a challenge to the harvest season. With such ideal weather, the grapes provided the rich color and depth of flavor along with lively natural acidity so apparent in the 2014 ACRE Cabernet Sauvignon.
