Araujo Estate Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - 1997 (750ml) Cornas revealing dried red and blackThe 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, is a beauty. The healthy ruby purple color is followed by classic, unevolved but promising aromas of minerals, cedar, smoke, and black currants. The wine is medium to full bodied, with admirable purity, a sweet, lush mid palate, and ripe tannin in the finish. The top notch 1997 is a classic, restrained. Anticipated maturity: now 2020.
