Acclaimed, Red Wine, 2023

Did you know the name Acclaimed isn't just marketing? This label was specifically designed to showcase precision winemaking—the art of picking grapes at the exact moment of physiological ripeness to ensure the 14.5% ABV feels integrated rather than aggressive. It’s less of a boast and more of a promise that every sip lands with pinpoint accuracy. ​ Born from a sophisticated ménage à quatre of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, this blend has spent a solid 18 months lounging in French oak. Think of it as a long, luxurious spa day for grapes, where they swapped their raw youthful edges for polished notes of toasted brioche and cigar box. ​ On the nose, it’s a riot of bramble jam, dark cherries, and a cheeky hint of pencil shavings. Take a sip, and you’re hit with a velvety hints of dark chocolate and espresso. It’s lush, it’s plush, and it has enough structure to hold its own at a posh dinner party without breaking a sweat. ​ Talk about hitting the nail on the head!!! This wine is 100% worth celebrating. In our opinion it should be critically acclaimed!!!
