Ripe black and red cherry, red currant, baking spice, vanilla, a touch of caramel and brown sugar. M acid. M body. Long finish. Still young but drinkable and balanced. — 8 years ago

Wow! The man sure could make good wines! Flavors of iron, game meat, fennel, loads of ripe dark fruits, and sandalwood. Plenty of velvety tannins and and a dose of surprising acidity around the edges. This will last in a cellar another ten years without a worry. — 9 years ago

So much potential! After an hour in the glass just begins to open up. Precise, layers of depth and elegant. Nice! — 10 years ago

Beautifully "restrained" (if that term applies to Napa blockbusters) and showing fantastic balance.
This reminds me of 2003 Araujo Eisele CS at age 5+.

Buy as much as you can afford and then put a few extra bottles on your CC.
This is going to be a legend in 20+ years.

Clean and tasty as f*%k!! I'd rate this a notch above the Rudd Mt. Veeder SB and definitely on par with the Araujo Eisele. This should evolve a bit. Still a tad wound up. — 8 years ago

Magnum 1999 Harlan Estate. Welcome dinner for D fam at RW. Drank this after the '96 Araujo Eisele out of magnum. Unfortunately, this bottle was not stored properly and just didn't drink great. Unanimous that Araujo hit it out of the park and that this wine was not what it should have been. It was hot, lacked dimension, and the finish was abrupt and harsh. It should have been great, as we have been enjoying other '99s at this time, but not this bottle. — 9 years ago

The 2012 Araujo ‘Altagracia Estate’ Proprietary Red Napa Valley Technical Director Helene Mingot notes “This Altagracia is a generous wine reflecting the exceptional quality of the vintage. The 2012 vintage is balanced and harmonious, offering beautiful ripeness with no excess. The wine reflects the character of the eastern parcels of the Eisele Vineyard, and its fine-grained tannins provide a perfect foil for the intensity and richness of the layered fruit.” 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 4% Malbec. This is without a doubt the best altagracia made to date! Anyone lucky enough to have tasted this wine knows what were talking about. #araujo #altagracia #propred #napa #winelover #instawine #wine #wino #vino #cheers — 10 years ago

This is one wine where I was surprised. Top 5 wine of my life. Acid, balance, fruit...mouth feel was supreme. Blackberry, truffle. — 11 years ago
