Couldn't load pickup availability
Altagracia is a smaller, more volcanic parcel of land utilised by the Eisele Vineyards to produce their 2nd wine named after the land. It is as lush, dark, and complex as their flagship, with an added degree of softness making it more approachable in youth. Unctuous créme de cassis, blackcurrant, blueberry, fresh leather, pine wood, sweet tobacco, with juicy and ripe tannins.

While past vintages of Altagracia included some purchased fruit, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia is all estate fruit selected from certain blocks—mostly the more volcanic parcels and young vines. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's redolent of crushed stone and a mix of red and black cherries, while the medium to full-bodied palate is supple and creamy, then comes to a rather tannic, compact, mocha-tinged finish. Give it a couple of years in the cellar.
