Araujo Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is a single-vineyard wine from Napa Valley’s Eisele Vineyard. This vintage comprises 75% Sauvignon Musqué and 25% Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the distinct terroir of this renowned site. Aromas of ripe pear, key lime and white grapefruit interlace with subtle notes of jasmine and flint. The palate reveals layers of pear and citrus, underscored by fresh acidity and a mineral backbone. Eisele Vineyard, established in the 1970s, is known for its sustainable farming practices and low yields, contributing to the wine`s complexity.

Vinous
The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is a revelation. Fresh, vibrant and super-expressive, the 2012 shows how compelling Sauvignon can be in Napa Valley. Lemon oil, mint, white pepper, sage and mint abound. The 2012 is beautifully perfumed, fresh, and above all else, timeless. What a wine!Antonio Galloni9th May 2024
