Description
The 2015 Ara�jo Estate Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is composed of 76% Sauvignon Blanc Musqu� and 24% Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit was picked between August 13 and August 22 - the earliest harvesting date ever for Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. This early harvest was brought on by warm nights during the summer that promoted consistent ripening in the grapes. The wines were aged on the lees for 12 months in a combination of stainless steel, concrete eggs and used and new oak before blending. You will find this to be a round and concentrated wine that will offer floral and orange citrus tones with vanilla and mineral undertones.

Tasting Notes
Wow. The complex aromas are so compelling with sliced apples, lemons and cream. Some minerals and mustard seeds, too. Full-bodied, yet vivid and bright with sliced green apples, lime and green mangoes. Excellent intensity and crispness. Just the right amount of phenolic tension. Great purity. Drink or hold. Score - 98. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Dec. 17, 2018)
