Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - Fine black ruby color with the slightest fading on the rim. Gorgeous, complex nose of ripe cassis, blackberries and mocha. Needed a good hour out of the cellar to open up and start to show itself. Then very complex and delicious with strong chocolate-mocha flavors along with cassis and sweet blackberries. Not a huge Araujo but rather made in a sleek, ripe and elegant style. Finishes quite long, complex and spicy but with a bite of acidity at the very end that suprises. The complex fruit flavors are absolutely the essence of pure Napa fruit and the acidity late either indicates a flaw or that the wine needs some more time. Worth having around over the next few years to find out.
