Drinking so great right now. A terrific balance of both power and elegance showing excellent complexity and depth. Sweet black and red fruits, dried red flowers and seamlessly integrated tannins. Alcohol is a bit prevalent at first, but blows off after an hour decant. Finishes long, velvety and seductive. In a wonderful place.

50% off wine night at Rare Steakhouse.

Deep ruby red. Rich and layered nose coated in damp forest floor, mushrooms, dusted cherries, dark berries and leather. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. A bit of licorice on the palate with black berries, spices, leather, animal nuances and cherries. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028.

This vintage used to be one of my all time favorites from Araujo but I regret to say that it’s lost a little bit of the greatness for me.
Still a very beautiful lady but a few wrinkles are starting to show....we’re still in love but I just can’t forget how gorgeous she looked a few years ago.

I love all things Eisele vineyard. Beautiful deep red fruit, menthol and rich earth. A little heat early. Decant 2+ hours.

The hits just keep on coming. This was poured side by side with the Maybach. Incredible wine. Elegant., dark fruits, long finish. Simply stunning.

This winery was just sold to the folks from Chateau Latour. One of the best vineyard sites in Napa and always one of the best wines on the table at our California cult tasting
