Sorry I can't provide unbiased ratings here but (together with Denis Malbec) I was involved in the making and professional integrity just prevents me from tooting our/my own horns.

More so I had a certain reason for opening these tonight....

2013 Acumen Cabernet Sauvignon (14% alc).

2013 Acumen "Left Bank Blend" (14% alc)
68% CS, 25% ME, 6% CF, 1% PV.

2013 Acumen "Right Bank Blend" (14.2% alc)
69% CF, 29% ME, 2% CS.

Cheers to life and good wine!
