Very deep, saturated ruby-red. Crystallized black cherry, violet and crushed dark berries on the nose, along with a faint dusty, leathery quality. Lush, tactile and seamless, with wonderful sweetness of fruit for the vintage. Already shows lively cassis and redcurrant fruit in the middle palate. Finishing flavor begins subtly, then expands into a very long aftertaste.

Araujo's Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard has become a benchmark. I believe the 1995 is the finest produced under the Araujo regime. It is close to perfection. The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse. The saturated purple/black color is followed by aromas of sweet vanillin intermixed with riveting scents of black currants, minerals, exotic spices, coffee, and toast. There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine. A Napa Valley classic, it is full-bodied and extremely rich, yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry. This fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon should age effortlessly for 30 or more years.

Aromas of wild cherries and milk chocolate follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long, delicious finish. Wonderful wine.

Wow, this is a deliciously spectacular cab. Ripe black cherry, black currant, and black raspberry fruit intertwined with notes of sandalwood, cedar and spices. Tannins are perfectly integrated giving a silky mouthfeel. This is a finely balanced and complex mature cab.
