The 2011 Araujo Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a dry white wine from the Eisele Vineyard in Napa Valley, known for its focused, site-specific character. The cooler 2011 vintage provided a longer hang-time, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc with elevated acidity and tension. This release is less opulent than the 2009, presenting a tauter profile defined by minerality, grapefruit zest, and delicate herbal notes. It is a structured and highly age-worthy example that defies the simple, early-drinking stereotype often associated with Californian Sauvignon Blanc.
