Eisele Vineyard ‘Altagracia’ 2012: Medium-full bodied. Elegant balance. Fine-grained tannins. Ripe delicious flavors of black fruits, plum & cherry, graphite, vanilla & oak. Smooth memorable finish. Consisting of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot & 4% Malbec, this Bordeaux-style red blend from Napa was a big winner! Strong aromas, smooth rich flavors. Drinking amazingly well right now. Highly recommend. Great weekend to all. Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago
Presents treacle, coffee grinds and cedar on the nose. Oddly enough, there’s a hint of grapefruit on the mid palate. It’s not a distraction, but quite uncommon. Moderate density supports maraschino cherries and ripe tannins. Great overall structure suggests that this will sail on for a few more years, but it’s peaking now. — 9 months ago

2013 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Sage and anise on the nose. In that perfect spot between youth and maturity where the spring is partially unwound, yet still measurably coiled. Dropped the baby fat and aggressive fruit overtures but toned. Ain't no rush to crush. What I would do to roll through a vertical tasting of Araujo Eisele Vineyard Syrah might end up on the police blotter. There are more demonstrative Syrahs in California such as SQN, Saxum and Kongsgaard (and they are all top-notch phenomenal in their own way) but this deserves to be in the conversation amongst the best the region has to offer. 05.05.25. — 9 hours ago
