Araujo, Napa Valley, Eisele, Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

Base of neck or better; one stained label 95 points Wine Spectator A dark, profoundly rich and compelling wine, still showing pretty toast and mocha-scented oak a plush, opulent, beautifully defined core of currant, plum and blackberry. Finishes with a gorgeous array of complex, vibrant fruit aromas. (JL, Web Only-2002) 18+/20 points Jancis Robinson Gorgeous aromas, managing to capture this time of transition with a combination of peachy ripeness, serious depth, and curranty precision. The palate shows real concentration and grip - not tannic as such, but with real persistence and tenacity on the finish. Pivotal wine for Napa. (AH) (7/2012)
