1998 Araujo Eisele Vineyard Cabernet - 750ml

In Stock Unavailable
1998 Araujo Eisele Vineyard Cabernet The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard was bottled earlier than usual as this vintage is not as massive or concentrated as its predecessors. To my palate the 1998 is good although I am not convinced it will be long lived. There are 2300 cases of this 90% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Petit-Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc blend. It is supple and elegant with a complex evolved bouquet of smoke black currants spice box and cedar. In the mouth the wine is forward with sweet tannin gorgeously rich concentrated fruit and impressively integrated acidity and tannin. RP
