The Araujo Estate 2002 flagship offering was bottled late, in November of 2004, as the team felt the wine was very backward during its first year in barrel, with big, chunky tannins early on.Nowadays, all the red wines here get 28 to 35 days of maceration and remain longer on their lees, which winemaker Francoise Peschon feels is the key to getting rounder wines with more refined tannins.Incidentally, this estate pulled out about 25% of its cabernet after the 2000 harvest, because these 38-year-old vines were suffering from leaf roll virus, produced tiny crop levels, and even then struggled to get ripe.The new plantings, which use the old Eisele clone, will produce their first commercial crop in 2006.
