Araujo Estate
Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is the last wine Bart and Daphne Araujo made from start to finish before selling their winery and vineyard to the Artemis Group. All the Eisele signatures are there, but the volume is just turned down. Dark berry fruit, gravel, spice, earthiness and leather lend striking aromatic nuance throughout. This mid-weight, supremely elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is sublime. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Superb. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2022)

Solid Cabernet, still showing too much ripe fruit right now, could possibly be a revisit in 15 years???

Mar 14th, 2015Nice wine in a difficult vintage. Tannin perhaps a bit rough at the moment but should resolve with time.
