Although production is tiny (300 cases) Araujo's Eisele Vineyard Syrah is an ageworthy effort that is generally co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier (around 4%) and aged in French oak (50% new). The 2003 Syrah Eisele Vineyard reveals a wonderful blackberry chocolate and peppery-scented nose along with good subtlety as well as authoritative richness power and purity. It is a stunning Syrah that should last a decade even though it will provide immediate gratification.
