Araujo Estate Eisele Vineyard 2003

. eRobertParker.com #222 CALL FOR ADDITIONAL BOTTLES Dec 2015 Robert M. Parker, Jr. 97 Drink: 2016 – 2046 $369-$600 The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a relatively powerful statement from the new owners. Dense ruby/purple in color, with an exceptional nose of crème de cassis, a touch of mulberry and spice. The oak is completely obscured by the lavish, concentrated, ripe fruit and multi-dimensional mid-palate that expands beautifully, but with no sense of heaviness. The wine is rich and full-bodied, but with velvety tannin and stunning purple and black fruits. This is a beauty, with savoriness that?s hard to articulate. The finish goes on for a good 45+ seconds. This is a beauty that?s velvety, opulent and capable of drinking well now or in 25 to 30+ years. This famous estate tucked away in northeastern Napa Valley in the foothills of the Vaca Mountains is now fully controlled, in both a viticultural and winemaking standpoint, by Château Latour?s Fran&ccedi
