2017 Eisele Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

In wine, nothing is as constant as the land. Vintages offer variation, as do winemakers and owners. Mother Nature is fickle and always wants the last word. But the land is a constant, its geology and composition unalterable. At the heart of every great wine lies a piece of land unlike any other. Eisele Vineyard, first planted to vines in the 1880s, is located in the northeastern Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga at the foot of the Palisades Mountains. The vineyard has been farmed organically since 1998 and biodynamically since 2000. The wines produced from this remarkable site have a rare combination of frank character with precisely defined flavors and fine textures, deep concentration without any sense of heaviness, and the ability to develop deep complexity with age. The Eisele Vineyard was originally planted to Zinfandel and Riesling in the 1880s, and has been continuously vined ever since. The first Cabernet was planted in 1964. Besides the Cabernet, Eisele is now also famous for their Sauvignon Blanc. Fantastic white from Napa Valley with again a great storage potential.

The 2017 Eisele Cabernet is a full-bodied wine with a velvet glove. The 2017 vintage was characterized by very small berries. The wine has a deep, dark garnet color that indicates a rich heart of spicy fruit. The nose opens with intense floral notes of violets and fresh blue fruit, typical of the Eisele Vineyard terroir, with a subtle scent of roasted meat jus. Over time, ripe cherries and tobacco leaves emerge. The mouthfeel is fresh, precise and deliciously savory, with great concentration. The tannins are very fine and tightly woven, with a coconut powdery texture and notes of Darjeeling tea. Layers of dark fruit linger in the long finish. This wine has great aging potential.
