1994 Araujo Estate Syrah Eisele Vineyard – Napa Valley Cult Wine
Experience a legendary California Syrah from Araujo Estate’s iconic Eisele Vineyard, a rare 1994 vintage that redefines Napa Valley excellence. Limited to just 800 cases, this collector’s gem blends 92% Syrah with 8% Viognier, achieving a perfect balance of power and elegance.
Critic’s Darling (98 Points, Wine Advocate):
Hailed as “possibly California’s greatest Syrah,” this wine dazzles with an opaque purple hue and an intoxicating bouquet of blackberries, crushed peppercorns, and mineral undertakes, lifted by a whisper of Viognier’s honeysuckle charm. The palate delivers opulent dark fruit concentration, yet retains remarkable finesse—no heaviness, just layered complexity that promises exceptional aging potential (30+ years).
Why Choose This Vintage?
– Rarity: Among the first Syrah releases from Araujo’s Eisele Vineyard
– Terroir-Driven: Napa Valley’s volcanic soils impart distinctive minerality
– Perfect Cellar Candidate: Peak drinking window: 2020–2050
– 13.8% ABV: Balanced alcohol for graceful maturation
