| Acacia Red Blend 2007 |
| This Syrah based Rhône-style blend is well-balanced and layered with
aromas of rich dark cherry, plum and raspberry. Deep, fruit flavors of cherry
and ripe plum are framed by velvety tannins. Grenache adds a hint of soft,
bright red raspberries and Mouvèdre infuses the blend with spice and a bit of
mocha. A splash of Viognier lifts the aromas and completes this richly textured
blend |

| Antiqv2s Syrah Garys 2004 |
| 90+ Points Robert Parker
This is a structured Syrah with impressively saturated deep ruby/purple colors, firm but moderately high tannin, medium to full body, and abundant fruit, density, and extract. It is obviously built for aging. It is an outstanding, still youthful, restrained Syrah that begs for 1-2 years of bottle age. It should drink well for a decade. |

| Antiqv2s Syrah Garys Vineyard 2005 |
| 92 points Robert Parker
One might argue that there is not enough of a difference between these two wines to justify separate bottlings, but the producer (Gary Pisoni’s son, Jeff) obviously thinks so. The 2005 Syrah Garys’ Vineyard exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, big, sweet, smoky, berry aromas, grandiose levels of fruit, notions of smoke and tar, and a dense, round, opulent mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. |

| Araujo Cabernet Sauvignon 1993 |
| 96 Points Robert Parker
The Eisele Vineyard 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. I have tasted it three times out of bottle, once rating it as high as 98, but never less than 96. It is a mind-boggling Cabernet Sauvignon that is remarkably well-balanced for its size and intensity. The color is an opaque purple, and the nose offers up smoky, chocolatey, blackcurrant, licorice, and mineral scents. On the palate, the wine reveals fabulous density, concentration, sweetness of fruit as well as tannin, and a 30-40 second finish. Although there is a high percentage of new oak, this wine has completely soaked it up, a testament to its extract and concentration of fruit. While the wine displays a certain precociousness, unusual for a 1993, there is plenty of tannin lurking in the finish, but it is well-concealed by the wine's exceptional richness. This beauty is destined to age effortlessly for 20-25 years.
The Eisele Vineyard has always produced concentrated Cabernet Sauvignons with blackcurrant/cassis personalities intermixed with a mineral component. What the Araujos have been able to achieve is to intensify the fruit character, as well as the wine's purity and definition. That, plus high quality French oak barrels and a natural approach to winemaking has resulted in a succession of extraordinary Cabernets that began in 1991, and shows no signs of abating. |
