International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 84

Deep ruby color, darker for its age than the '97. Slightly roasted aromas of black fruits, toffee, leather, tobacco, mocha and dark chocolate; exhilarating suggestion of crystallized berries. Lush and velvety in the mouth; already displays wonderful sweetness and layered texture. Very strong back end features chewy, ripe tannins. A very successful '96, showing beautifully today.

Wine Advocate Author: Robert Parker Issue: 126

The saturated purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard offers an attractive nose of black fruits intermixed with toast, minerals, subtle tar, and wood smoke. Full-bodied, with impressive purity, a multi-layered mid-palate and finish, it is an expressive, pure, powerful, and large-boned wine.

Wine Spectator Author: James Laube

Smooth and polished, with detailed flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, spice and light oak, this pedigreed red turns rich and elegant, with a long, complex aftertaste. 2,305 cases made.

Daddy Trust Rating: 96 Tasted On: 03/10/2012

Near peak, truly exceptional and a real example of terrior. Blackberry, burnt toast, smoke, earth with great mid palate. Extremely well delinieated . Throwing some sediment and should be decanted. Sophisticated.

Not Araujo's (or Napa') best cab. vintage, but still a very good wine with good fruit and depth; lacks some of the aromatic complexity of the better vintages; drink now

Wonderful wine, color and nice finish. Feels like it's a little past its peak but still drinking well.
