Located on the eastern bench of the Oakville AVA, the soils are alluvial loam, washed down from the Vaca Mountain range. This is the home vineyard of the Araujo family.
Small blocks of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque, and Semillon have contributed character and embellishment to the Accendo Sauvignon Blanc program. The Sauvignon Musque offers an exotic aromatic profile, while the Semillon fleshes out the mid palate and gives gravitas and opulence to the blend.
