2020 | Accendo Cellars | Sauvignon Blanc

The nose opens with exotic aromas of honeydew melon, guava, pineapple and jasmine, followed by herbal notes of angelica, fig leaf and chamomile with a strong vein of minerality that conjures up ocean air. Lanolin and toasted pine nuts round out the aromas. On the palate, flavors of ruby red grapefruit and salty ocean air blend with wet stone minerality. The mouthfeel of this wine is dynamic, moving from generous fruit through to a lacey, delicate and persistent mineral finish.

Producer Information

This was their philosophy as the proprietors of Araujo Estate and stewards of the historic Eisele Vineyard, and it is their guiding principle today with Accendo Cellars, the Napa Valley winegrowing venture founded in 2013. Inspired by the revolutionary Napa Valley wines of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, Accendo pays homage to an earlier era and marks a beginning of a promising new paradigm: to source grapes from some of the finest vineyard sites and terroir in Napa Valley; to make a wine of balance and restraint in the style of Napa Valley’s past wines; and to produce this wine with the commitment, energy and meticulous attention to detail that have characterized their past efforts. They are grateful to be joined by their daughter, Jaime Araujo Bézian, and son, Greg Araujo, as well as a small team of professionals they have worked with for many years, people who share their passion and, most importantly, their values. Applying what they know collectively about grape growing and winemaking, Bart and Daphne's aim is to create a world-class wine that expresses ecological diversity and focused stewardship. For years Napa Valley has nurtured and humbled them in ways they could never have imagined. It is the hope that Accendo will shine a new light on this magical place they call home.
