In 2013, Bart and Daphne Araujo sold their notable Araujo Estate and Eisele Vineyard to embark on their next journey, the creation of Accendo Cellars. With the principles of producing wines with meticulous attention to detail characterized by past efforts, Accendo Cellars pays credit to an earlier era of the Napa Valley while sourcing grapes from Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. Utilizing the impeccable diversity of the Napa Valley, Accendo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc both emphasize finesse and elegance.
The Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, presented in a 1.5L magnum, showcases a rich Napa Valley heritage, crafted by renowned winemaker Françoise Peschon. This wine is a product of meticulous sourcing from premium valley-floor and benchland vineyards, reflecting a warm, low-yield year. It exhibits a vibrant yet dense profile with notes of ripe black cherry, cassis, and floral hints, complemented by a backdrop of graphite and cedar. The tannins are fine and long, promising excellent aging potential of 20-30 years. This rare allocation-only release highlights the elegance and complexity associated with its origins.
