December 2000
...supple and elegant, with a complex, evolved bouquet of smoke, black currants, spice box, and cedar. In the mouth, the wine is forward with sweet tannin, gorgeously rich, concentrated fruit, and impressively integrated acidity and tannin...

...Complex, inviting aromas of plum, leather, spice, game and Burgundian earth tones. Lush and sweet in the mouth, with plum, meat and leather flavors. Harmonious acids give shape to the wine without drying it. Finishes with sweet, rich tannins and very good length...A real standout of the vintage.

A supple, harmonious, well-crafted effort, with rich yet subtle earthy currant, tobacco, toasty-cedary oak and spicy anise notes. Very complete and focused, with fine-grained tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2009. 2,180 cases made. –JL
About 1998 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard
About the Winery Araujo Estate
Our estate is a Chateau-style wine property located in the northeast
Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga. Its two primary components are the
38-acre Eisele Vineyard, and a winery and cave complex we designed and
built specifically to vinify only Eisele Vineyard grapes.
The
Eisele Vineyard is one of the most respected Cabernet Sauvignon
vineyards in the Napa Valley, equivalent to a premier cru Bordeaux.
Warm days, cool nights and well-drained cobbly soils produce remarkable
wines. The vineyard was established more than 120 years ago, and was
first planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1964. When we acquired it in
1990, we began extensive renovation of the existing buildings, created
a new winery and caves, and in the vineyard, refined the varietal mix
and upgraded clone-rootstock combinations, to realize the property's
potential for joining the international elite of limited production
wine estates oriented exclusively to quality.
