Altagracia is a Bordeaux-style red wine named after the grandmother of the previous owner, Bart Araujo. The 2015 vintage is full of energy. It is full of summer fruit aromas such as American cherries, raspberries, and boysenberries, with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The voluminous and rounded attack is layered with blueberries and other fruits and graphite, leading to a long finish with a mineral feel and freshness. The tannins are very delicate and dense. The fruit ripeness transitions smoothly from the condensed, rich, earthy nuances. This is a wonderful wine with a very extroverted impression. Thanks to the mild temperature and almost no rainfall in the winter, bud break occurred early and flowering occurred in early April, which was the earliest on record in 2015. The fruit set was very good and uniform in each plot, which speaks to the age of the vines and the stability of the terroir. Although cool temperatures in May threatened to lower yields across Napa Valley, Eisley Vineyard's vines remained stable thanks to early flowering and a balanced canopy. High summer temperatures encouraged even ripening, resulting in the earliest harvest since 2001, which began on September 5th and ended on September 15th, producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. Eisley Vineyard's grapes are CCOF certified organic and Demeter certified biodynamic. Located on an alluvial fan east of Calistoga near the northern edge of Napa Valley, Eisley Vineyard has been home to some of the most long-ripening and flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon since 1971. Protected by the Palizades Mountains to the north and cooled by the cold air from the west through the Chalk Hill Gap, the 15.2 hectare vineyard has well-drained, pebbly soils that produce low-yielding, concentrated grapes. The wines produced from this wonderful vineyard have a unique combination of straightforward character and precise, well-defined flavors, yet smooth texture and a concentrated flavor that doesn't feel heavy, and also have the elements to develop complex flavors with aging. Eiseley Vineyard was first planted with Zinfandel and Riesling in the 1880s. Grapes were planted continuously thereafter, and in 1964, Milt and Barbara Eiseley planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon. After a series of amazing wines in the 1970s, visionary Napa Valley vintner Joseph Phelps would produce what would become his legendary Cabernet Sauvignon from this vineyard. From 1975 to 1991, the last vintage of Eisley by Joseph Phelps, wines of incomparable character and quality were produced from this vineyard. In the 1991 vintage, two wines were produced from Eisley Vineyard. One was Phelps' last vintage, and the other was the Arrojo Estate wine released by the Arrojos, who purchased Eisley Vineyard that year. Since then, the wines from Eisley Vineyard made by the Arrojos have established themselves as some of California's leading cult wines. Since 2000, Arrojo Estate has practiced biodynamic farming, and in 2005, it was certified biodynamic by Demeter. In both the fields of cultivation and winemaking, they have practiced winemaking while adapting to the rhythms of nature. In 2013, Francois Pinault, known as the owner of Chateau Latour, a first-class Bordeaux winery, Domaine Dugeny and Monopole Clos de Tart in Burgundy, and Chateau Grillet in Condrieu, acquired Arrojo. Under the supervision of Frédéric Angela, general manager of Chateau Latour, Arrojo produces classic yet new-style Napa Valley wines using grapes from the historic Eiseley. In 2016, to prove the terroir and quality of this vineyard, the winery changed its name to "Eiseley Vineyards" and is aiming for further growth.
