Winemaker Francoise Peschon informed me that the Araujo Estate flagship wine is now bottled later than previously (the 2003 was only bottled in November of 2005). "With biodynamic farming, the wines evolve at a slower pace," she explained. "We now rack less and let the wines develop at their own pace. "Production in 2003 and 2004 has been in the low 1,600-case range, as there has been a lot of recent replanting here of vines on AXR rootstock as well as those affected by leaf roll virus-not to mention a good bit of declassification. Peschon describes the 2002 Araujo Estate wine as "voluptuous and soft" but feels that the 2003 will be a longer ager.
