Lately, I’ve been gravitating towards wine from the north end of the valley. Of course the pedigree and history behind Araujo and Altagracia (named after his grandmother) is as awesome as this Bordeaux blend wine. The 2012 availability just made it all the nicer.

Garnet with slight signs of age on the edges. Black cherry on the nose spice and dark fruit on the palette. Medium bodied with smooth tannins.

Eisele Vineyard ‘Altagracia’ 2012: Medium-full bodied. Elegant balance. Fine-grained tannins. Ripe delicious flavors of black fruits, plum & cherry, graphite, vanilla & oak. Smooth memorable finish. Consisting of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot & 4% Malbec, this Bordeaux-style red blend from Napa was a big winner! Strong aromas, smooth rich flavors. Drinking amazingly well right now. Highly recommend. Great weekend to all. Cheers🍷

A lot bigger than most Napa reds. Very earthy with a long satisfying finish.

Bordeaux-like Cali cab. Black currant, black cherry, full bodied with cedar & spice notes. Great with Tri-Tip!
