2015 Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon

The Araujo's new mission is to make wines with balance and restraint in the style of Napa Valley’s 50s, 60s, and 70s. Or as they put it, their Cabernet is “…fashioned in ... a style that emphasizes elegance, balance, freshness, and finesse.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate scored it 97 points and described it as, “ … expressive, multilayered blue and black fruits, all supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a compelling earthiness coming through.” New is old again.
