Bart Araujo described 2001 as "an easy, classic year."But following a cool spring in 2002, "we were worried that the heat spikes in September were pushing the grape sugars up faster than real phenolic ripeness. Both harvests ended at about the same time, but the 2002 crop had slightly less hang time. The 2002 wine may have a bit more power and a bit less elegance."Incidentally, Araujo was highly optimistic about his young 2003: We had great weather after veraison with consistently foggy mornings followed by beautiful 80 degree afternoons."In 2002 for the first time, all of the property's red wines were vinified entirely with wild yeasts. I have included a new tasting note on the superb 2002 sauvignon blanc, which I originally tasted last winter right after it was bottled.

The spring frost in 2001 sharply reduced Araujo Estate's syrah crop, with the result that this vintage may be the finest yet for this variety. Two thousand one is also a very strong year for Araujo's Eisele Vineyard flagship wine; and my early look at the cabernet sauvignon component of the 2002 suggests that this next vintage may be equally impressive.
