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. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the vintage’s precociousness and front-end loaded, flattering style. It is medium to full-bodied, shows beautiful fruit purity, deep black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, moving toward blacker berries. There is a floral characteristic, spice, and a full-bodied, lush mouthfeel with silky tannin.
