Why We're Buying
Eisele Vineyard, formerly known as Araujo Estate, is one of Napa Valley's crown jewels. Wine critic Robert Parker chose it for his 2005 book, "The World's Greatest Wine Estates." One of its marquee offerings, Altagracia, is a Bordeaux blend that exemplifies nobility and refinement.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia has slightly muted black cherries, crushed black plums and cassis with hints of licorice, black soil and cracked pepper plus a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, rich and expressive in the mouth, it delivers a lot of layers and wonderfully fine tannins, finishing long and earthy.
James Suckling
This is a dense and juicy red with characters of blackberries, chocolate and pine needles. Sweet tobacco, too. Full body and round, polished tannins. A more dialed-in, terroir character than in past vintages. 88 cabernet sauvignon, 7 cabernet franc and 5 petit verdot.
