ARAUJO
3 – 750 ml bottles each – 6 bottles total
One of the most extraordinary vineyards of Napa Valley is the Eisele Vineyard, which boasts a 40+ year history of producing compelling wines. It is hard to argue with the track record of this hallowed ground in the northeastern sector just southeast of the old cowboy town of Calistoga.
Araujo Eisele Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
A beautiful wine by any standards, its deep plum/ruby/purple hue is accompanied by notes of cassis, blueberries and acacia flowers. This medium-bodied effort seems surprisingly reserved and restrained, but it has put on a little weight, revealing sweet tannin as well as a velvety texture. RP 93
Araujo Eisele Syrah 2007
This offering exhibits fruit, a floral, meaty character, soft, round tannins, medium to full body and good length and richness. RP 91
