Araujo Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

The aromas of this wine exhibit profound notes of fresh loam, dusty cocoa powder and crushed rock. In the mouth, spicyblack licorice, dried laurel and delicate violet nuances balance the ripe, juicy, briary black fruit components. On the palate, itis seamless, complete from start to finish, showing the luxurious velvety tannins that are the signature of Eisele Vineyard andending with a long graphite note. Notes winemaker Matt Taylor: This wine is expressive of earth, chocolate, mineral and darkfruit notes, yet the superb silky tannins that persist through the extended finish, and the acidity that preserves freshness, combineto create a balanced, youthful and rich wine with years of ageing potential.
