(Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon) Deep garnet color, with a clear rim. The initially subdued nose of stones, spicy oak, chocolate, and warm alcohol opens up to reveal blackcurrant, black plum, caraway, and a hint of jalapeño. More complex on the palate, although lean in structure, with a rich mouthfeel and a long finish. Terroir: Eisele Vineyard
