Editorial profile

Eisele Vineyard is a 38-acre Calistoga estate in Napa Valley farming Cabernet Sauvignon and its Bordeaux companions alongside Syrah, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, with vines on the property since 1971 (Syrah since 1978). The winery traded for decades as Araujo Estate Wines under Bart and Daphne Araujo; the 2013 vintage was the first "from berry to bottle" under the estate's current owners, the Pinault family (Artemis Domaines), who renamed it for the vineyard itself.

Fruit is certified Organic by California Certified Organic Farmers and Biodynamic by Demeter. eiselevineyard.com now refuses automated fetches, so this profile and the wines below are drawn from Internet Archive captures of the producer's own site and its tech-sheet PDFs.
