Dear friends of Accendo Cellars,
It brings us much joy to witness the development of a new vintage. The tiniest details of the vine that seem to sprout overnight never cease to amaze us. Today in Oakville, the vines are bursting with bunches of micro flowers, each of which has the potential to turn into a single berry that will result in our 2022 wines.
With awe and admiration for this progress, it is our pleasure to announce the release of our 2019 Accendo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. Before this wine was even bottled Lisa Perrotti-Brown, formerly of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, was impressed by its “fantastic vivacity and plush texture,” while Antonio Galloni of Vinous published “the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is elegant, nuanced and super-polished.”
As a valued supporter of our small family wine business, you are receiving the best price for our wines via these online allocation offerings. Today through June 30th, 2022, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is available to you at the release price of $375 per bottle. During this time, you will also have the opportunity to take advantage of inclusive 2-day shipping. Once this release period closes on June 30th, these wines will be available at their general retail price of $395.
As mentioned in our Save-the-Date for this release, the nominal price increase on our wines helps us maintain our commitment to producing the highest quality wines while upholding the integrity and sustainability of grape growing and winemaking in Napa Valley.
You will also notice in the following sections that this release includes an allocation of our 2019 Laurea Red Wine with a percentage of sales benefitting Napa Firewise, in addition to a rare offering of our 2021 Olive Oil produced from our Rancho Pequeño orchard.
And finally, as our family and team hit the road to engage with new and familiar faces throughout the country, we are offering opportunities to host a private Accendo Tasting Experience at your home or private social club. Please email Mikael Tigrett, Director of Private Clients, to inquire about bringing Accendo Cellars to your town.
We wish you and yours a wonderful summer. If we don’t make it to your neighborhood soon, we always welcome the opportunity to visit with you in Napa Valley. Thank you for choosing to support our family project.
Sincerely,
THE ARAUJO FAMILY
