Araujo "Eisele" Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

96 Points Vinous

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.
