Winemaker Notes
This flamboyant wine shows dark, rich purple in the glass, and displays a racy nose of bacon, bitter chocolate, coffee bean and nutmeg. In the mouth, it coats the tongue with opulent flavors of ripe, dark fruit lifted by floral notes of honeysuckle, ending with impeccably fine tannins and a long, mineral note. Notes winemaker Francoise Peschon: The 2005 Syrah shows tremendous complexity in its range from ‘sauvage' to finesse, capturing the flamboyance, opulence and exoticism of the varietal in all its wildness, while the exceptional tannin quality of the vintage stands out in its purity and intensity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2005 Syrah Eisele Vineyard displays an attractive meaty character along with smoky blackberry fruit and a hint of charcoal. Soft and lush with French-like elegance as well as complexity, and a delicious, long, supple finish, it will be drinkable over the next 7-8 years or longer.

Robert
Since 1971, some of California's most ageworthy and intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignons have been made from grapes grown at the Eisele Vineyard, located on a benchland near the northern end of Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga. Protected by the Palisades Mountains to the north and cooled by westerly breezes from the Chalk Hill Gap, this 38-acre vineyard is planted on warm cobbly soils that produce a low-yielding crop of exceptionally concentrated fruit. Bart and Daphne Araujo acquired the Eisele Vineyard in 1990, and committed to producing only wines of the highest caliber and distinction. Araujo Estate produces 4 wines each vintage: Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, Altagracia, Syrah Eisele Vineyard and Sauvignon Blanc Eisele Vineyard.
