The 2005 Acustic is composed of 55% Samso (Carignan) and 45% Garnacha aged for 10 months in French oak. Saturated purple in color, it offers fragrant earth, spice, blueberry and blackberry liqueur aromatics. Full-bodied, with opulent black fruit flavors, this wine is dense and packed. The tannins, oak, and acidity are well-integrated and the finish is pure and long. Drink it now and over the next 10-15 years. There are only 650 cases of this killer value. Kudos to Acustic for making great wines at more than fair prices!
