Description
 
Araujo Estate is based around the historic Eisele vineyard which was first planted in the 1880’s. At the north-eastern end of the Napa Valley, the vineyard enjoys warm days and cool nights with the stony, well drained soil ensuring low yields of intensely flavoured grapes. The vineyard is managed according to organic and biodynamic principles. The wines have been consistently championed by Robert Parker, among others, contributing to a strong demand which always exceeds the limited production.

The 2010 Altagracia is surprisingly huge in this vintage. Layers of exotic black fruit, spices, mocha and espresso burst onto the palate with striking depth, power and richness. There is an immediacy to the 2010 that is simply compelling. No longer a true second wine, Altagracia now also includes a small amount of purchased fruit and is being crafted to stand on its own. The 2010 achieves that, and so much more. It is a fabulous effort from the team at Araujo. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025+. Wine Advocate 96 (2010)
