2018 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 2018 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet is one of the finest and most terroir-driven vintages. Very subtle and elegant, the wine reveals a nose of intense blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, with a scent of roses, crushed stones, tobacco box and cocoa beans. The mouthfeel is full and silky, with layers of black and red fruits, spicy cinnamon, vanilla and earthy notes that explode. The character of the Eisele Vineyard terroir is unmistakable in this vintage: a precisely delineated structure, spicy tannins and an incredibly refined texture, combined with a great freshness of floral and mineral notes, ending in a very long, velvety finish. The Eisele Vineyard - Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly appreciated wine among wine lovers for its complex taste and its rich, full structure. It is a wine that goes perfectly with grilled or braised meat dishes and also with a strong cheese. This wine is suitable to drink now, but can also be stored for a few years. In the ratings this wine often gets high marks.
