Formerly known as Araujo Estate, the new owner, Francois Pinault and his team decided earlier this year to pay tribute to the forty vintages that carried the Eisele Vineyard designation, first with Joseph Phelps, Conn Creek and Ridge to finally Araujo. As the owner of famed Château Latour, Château-Grillet and Domaine d’Eugénie, Eisele Vineyard is Francois’s only winery in Napa Valley. 

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon charges from the gate with exuberant red and black cherries notes, black currants and mulberries with a beautiful roses and lavender perfume, plus hints of sandalwood and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, concentrated and downright explosive in the mouth, it is still wearing loads of gorgeous puppy-fat fruit flavors, offering suggestions of the complex, multilayered blockbuster that it will emerge into. The structure deserves its own mention: wonderful, seamless freshness and oh-so-fine, pixelated tannins, with an extraordinary persistence of fruit and mineral nuances. Wow." - Wine Advocate
