Ackerman Family Vineyards


	Located in the cooler Coombsville area of Napa Valley, we are a small boutique winery that produces a handcrafted, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our just-under 16 acre hillside vineyard (9.5 acres planted). We have been making wine for ourselves since 1995 to better understand the nuances of our terroir and began selling our first "commercial" vintage of our 2003 Ackerman Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon in October 2007. We sell direct-to-consumer and through restaurants and high-end retailers only in multiple states. Our total production averages about 500 cases per year. Our cabernet sauvignon wines are typically smooth, yet complex, with a deep berry body and a subtle spice, smoke, chocolate and cherry finish. Due to our more temperate location in the southeastern part of Napa Valley, our wines tend to have alcohols ranging between 13.5% and 14.5%, which compliment foods well, not overpowering them. We barrel age for two years in new French Oak and then bottle age for an additional two years before we release each fall. We like wines that blend well with food and can be aged for 7 to 10 years or beyond for even more complexity. We also farm organically and received our CCOF certification in the fall of 2009. We are available for tastings with advanced notice only. Please visit our website for more information.
