This was great! PnP. Dark red color. Baking spices, dark fruit, and subtle licorice dominate. Very elegant wine. Awesome juice! — 2 months ago

This wine is super refined and elegant. The amount of acid was noticeable at this point - and the tannins are strong even after a four plus hour decant. This is one for the long haul. It was cool to taste this side by side with the ‘12 vintage as well as next to the ‘12 regular Estate. All so different yet all so good. Such wonderful wines it’s sad they’re no longer making them. — 7 years ago

Solid. Tough to follow the Accendo. Cherry fruit with some plums are most prominent. Medium plus depth. Continuum just isn’t my style, but not bad by any means. — 2 months ago

Pale yellow with a tinge of green in the glass, the nose is all about tropical fruits. The wine offers flavors of citrus, some stone fruit and a hint of grass. Medium-high acidity and touch of honey on the finish. Compared to the Araujo’s other SB, Accendo, which has some richness to it, this is crisp and zesty. — 6 years ago

My last bottle of 2007! Met Bart & Daphne at a wine dinner years ago, and have always loved their wines. Looking forward to their new offerings from Accendo. — 7 years ago
