Araujo Altagracia 2010 is a Bordeaux-style blend crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot sourced primarily from the Eisele Vineyard in Napa Valley. The wine offers a complex profile, revealing expressive layers of dark fruit, integrated spices and hints of chocolate. A significant aspect of this vintage is the shift in production strategy; Altagracia now incorporates fruit from outside the estate. Araujo estate, established by accomplished winemaker Bart Araujo, is known for its commitment to biodynamic farming, promoting sustainability and terroir expression in its wines.

Robert Parker
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+. - Antonio Galloni

Eisele Vineyard
A Napa Valley Icon
Another historic vineyard in Napa, first planted in the 1880s Eisele Vineyard sits in the northeast of the Napa Valley, east of Calistoga. Bart and Daphne Araujo converted the vineyards to organic farming in 1998 before moving to biodynamic practices in 2000. Broadly considered one of the great Cabernet Sauvignon terroirs in Napa, the wines continue to win praise from wine lovers and critics alike.
Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine, but the estate also producer a second wine called Altagracia, a Syrah and a Sauvignon Blanc. Before 2016, the wines were bottled under the Araujo label.
