1995 Araujo Eisele Vineyard Cabernet - 98 pts!
Araujo's Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard has become a benchmark. I believe the 1995 is the finest produced under the Araujo regime. It is close to perfection. The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse. The saturated purple/black color is followed by aromas of sweet vanillin intermixed with riveting scents of black currants minerals exotic spices coffee and toast. There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine. A Napa Valley classic it is full-bodied and extremely rich yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry. This fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon should age effortlessly for 30 or more years. RP
