Solid structure with muscular tannins. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and 6% petit verdot.

Aged 21 months in 78% new oak with 22% used Austrian and French foudres, it's remarkably pure and medium to full-bodied, with ripe, velvety tannins and a great finish. It doesn't have the same elegance as the Grand Vin, yet it's still a brilliant wine in its own right that will unquestionably evolve for upwards of two decades. Drink 2025-2045.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAltagracia, named after Bart Araujo’s grandmother, is a Bordeaux-style blend vinified in the same manner as the Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. It is essentially the expression of the Eastern parcels of the Eisele Vineyard, completed with fruit sourced from other Napa Valley vineyards where we hold long-term grape contracts and which are farmed to our specifications. This Napa Valley Proprietary Red, while very ageable, is readily enjoyable in its youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brix26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42348087378002,"sku":"7564879560786","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Altagracia250_1c650063-94fe-42f1-83a2-9ee55e0f0280.jpg?v=1771365233","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/eisele-vineyard-2023-altagracia-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
