Beschreibung:

Property of a Gentleman Removed from temperature controlled storage Araujo Estate, Eisele Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 2000 Napa Valley "The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a 1,700 case blend of 84 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot. This vintage produced lighter wines, resulting in a Bordeaux-like example of this cuvee. After 22 months in oak, this textured, perfumed Cabernet offers up aromas of black currants, earth, and lilacs (reminiscent of Chateau Margaux). It possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as medium body, a good texture, a slight austerity, but brilliant purity and balance. A lighter-weight effort by Araujo's standards, it is extremely well-balanced and approachable. Drink it over the next 10-12 years." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #150 (December 2003) 1 dozen bottles per lot
