A little long in tooth. All the weight and texture is still there, but a perimeter of dried fruit & inadequate storage. — 6 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor David Newman is leading a live-to-picture performance of Leonard Bernstein’s score for “West Side Story”, originally directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, and with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.) The BSO installed very fancy and large LED screens on the perimeter of the Shed facing the Lawn, amazing!

Loving this bottle, notes are a little different tonight, citrus pith, green apple and cooked grain (oh so faint tho). The show ended and we finished this in the parking lot as we waited for the insane traffic to dissipate. So much better once it warms up. 3hr decant before the show. — 7 years ago

This is the 2013 vintage.

In the glass, the color is a lovely, vibrant yellow. Not insipid in the least!

On the nose, in addition to the normal Citrus and grassy notes, there's a slight buttery character. A little bit odd, since this wine is fermented in stainless steel. Not overpowering, and not bad. Just not what I was expecting.

On the palate, this wine is hugely pineapple! There are a little bit of green or slightly grassy notes around the perimeter, but not deeply rooted. The flavor is bold and riich. The alcohol is faintly present and not overwhelming. This ain't your mama's "Napa Valley mouthwash! I love it! — 7 years ago

Had this for Easter dinner, paired great with ham. Definitely picked up on the apricot and pear and was the perfect level of sweetness with a meal. — 7 years ago

Buttery, candied grapefruit and pineapple, lemon marshmallow, aloe, beeswax candle, juniper berry and pine parchment aromatically. Fluff biscuit head that pontificated amidst perimeter chatter leaving scrawl and stalactites. Creamy with burnt points like baked Alaska. Yammy and browned with sugar before pulling apart to cola, egg cream and bitter chocolate with electric malt shadows. Gum Arabic and pine sap are just the catalysts to this green pinecone and sweet grass turned bitter almond, and oregano oil medicine rinse. Kicks out all the head fog that ails you, and replaces it with resin and tar.

Date night out with my bride before she begins a new year of teaching kindergarteners next week. Best Italian BYOB in Fort Worth and it's not even close!

This is now my 3rd Acumen wine, and all have been very good. I first had the Mountain Side Red, then the Cab Franc, and now this "Right Bank" red (69% CF, 29% Merlot, 2% Cab). This has been my favorite of the three. In the glass, it has a ruby red core but it grows to almost black as it gets to the perimeter. Very aromatic, with ripe blackberries, birch wood and white pepper. Smooth entry. Extremely lush fruit as it coats the palate. Medium bodied. I get this violet/purple tart on the finish, alongside a hint of hibiscus and cola. @Henrik Poulsen , this was fantastic! — 8 years ago
