Smooth, ripe and polished, marked by spicy plum, currant and cherry notes and finishing with soft, fleshy tannins and a touch of cedar. Well balanced. 80 cases made.
An elegantly styled wine, with mocha, coffee, currant, spice, floral and dusty berry flavors. Offers complexity and depth of flavor, with mild tannins. Drink now through 2009. 500 cases made.
A sweet nose of new saddle leather, black cherry liqueur, berries, and toasty oak, excellent purity, medium to full body, and a savory, nicely textured finish.

The 2000 Altagracia is a 900-case blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. An elegant, medium-weight Bordeaux-like red with good structure and grip, it offers aromas of tobacco, loamy soil, sweet licorice, and red as well as black fruits.
The results of all this aforementioned effort during a wet, mild and difficult year, was a 2000 wine, which is very rich and full-bodied. Deep red in color, with bountiful rich aromas and solid berry flavors, beefy tannin (enough to age for a while), elegant middle-mouth nuances and a lengthy finish of cedar, vanilla, cocoa, sage, and blackberry…Which makes for a delicious and drinkable wine…hmmm, sounds pretty, good. The total acid melds perfectly with the tannin to create a luscious, round middle-mouth flavor sensation.
Firm, dark, rich and concentrated, with intense, chewy tannins that match up well with layers of earthy currant, coffee, mint, blackberry, cedar, anise and spice. Rating: 91(WS)
