Tasting notes
This is a 320- to 500-case cuvee made by talented viticulturist Lisa Behrens, of Behrens and Hitchcock, and Francoise Peschon, the longtime winemaker at Araujo Estate. Aged 20 months in 100% French oak, of which half is new, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an elegant, sweet, precise bouquet of black currants intermixed with incense, graphite, and subtle new oak. With firmness, finesse, balance, purity, sweet tannin, and a long, rich finish, it will provide immense pleasure over the next 10-15 years. Distributed by Polaner Selections, Tel. (914) 244-0404

Lisa Drinkward and Françoise Peschon turned out an especially opulent, full-throttle wine with their Cabernet Sauvignon Entre Deux Mères. At twenty years of age, the 2002 remains quite dense. Black cherry, mocha, espresso, licorice and gravel saturate the palate. Ripeness is pushed to the edge here, and yet it all works. Even so, it’s time to drink the 2002. Vineyard sites were Thorevilos and Kenefick Ranch.
