Reviewed December 2012
Araujo’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a picture perfect example of the year. Vibrant, precise and beautifully chiseled, the 2010 boasts serious depth and concentration. The aromas and flavors are incredibly vivid in this textured, dazzling Cabernet Sauvignon. Hints of dark blue and black fruit, mocha, espresso and grilled herbs flesh out on the huge finish. Today the 2010 is unusually open, but it is almost certain to shut down in bottle over the next 6-12 months. The 2010 is a super-classic Eisele Cabernet Sauvignon from Araujo. (AG)

Good full, deep red-ruby. More floral and refined on the nose than the Alta Gracia, offering ineffable aromas of blueberry, brown spices, menthol, bay laurel and cedar. Marvelously silky on entry, then opens out dramatically on the back half, showing insidious, savory flavor concentration but also finishing with outstanding grip and verve. The very fine-grained, building tannins are perked up by notes of pepper and herbs. This wonderfully poised wine, delivering great richness without any undue weight, displays classic Eisele Vineyard character without any signs of roasted fruit. (ST) 95+

A big, plush Napa cab, which still offers lots of dried fruit, such as berries and figs, as well as chocolate and vanilla. It’s full-bodied with a rich, layered, ripe-tannin structure and mouth feel. Flavorful finish. This is really starting to show complexity with black truffles and leaves to the ripe fruit.

Pure, rich and delicious, with a sumptuous core of melted black licorice, dark berry, nutmeg-scented spice, loamy earth and dried herb. Shows impressive focus, density and persistence. Tempting now, but should age well. *Collectible* (JL)

Notes

Araujo Estate, founded in 1990 by Bart and Daphne Araujo, is renowned for its Eisele Vineyard, a 38-acre property in the northern Napa Valley known for producing highly concentrated, low-yielding fruit. Originally planted in the 1880s, the vineyard now primarily grows Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Acquired by the Pinault family’s Groupe Artemis in 2013, Araujo Estate is recognized as a cult Napa winery, producing wines such as the Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Altagracia Bordeaux blend, alongside small batches of Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.
