The Eisele 2019 is already an awe-inspiring thriller following two years of deep time in the cellar prior to release. Built like a thoroughbred, this enthusiastic young Cabernet blend offers a distinguished experience now and will continue to dazzle throughout this decade. The cashmere-like texture introduces notes of voluptuous dark fruit, baking spices, and hints of espresso deftly balanced by silky tannins and perfectly integrated oak. The majestic finish lasts a full minute now with tightly wound notes of black truffles, and exotic herbs. This is one of the most promising fledgling Napa reds we’ve sampled in years!” (February, 2022)

eisele vineyard Winery

First planted to vines in the 1880s, Eisele Vineyard sits in the northeast Napa Valley, just east of
Calistoga at the base of the Palisades Mountain range. Farmed organically since 1998 and
biodynamically since 2000, the site has been principally dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon for
the last fifty years. Beginning with the inaugural release bearing the Eisele name in 1971, this
iconic vineyard has received consistent recognition for possessing one of the great terroirs of
Napa Valley. The wines invariably express the exceptional depth, elegance and longevity which
are hallmarks of the Eisele Vineyard. ‘
Since 1971, some of California's most age worthy and intensely flavored Cabernet Sauvignons
have been made from grapes grown at the Eisele Vineyard. Joseph Phelps famously released an
Eisele Vineyard Cabernet prior to their celebrated Insignia bottling became a collector favorite.
In 1990, Daphne and Bart Araujo launched their eponymous wine, now recognized as one of the
original five ‘Cult’ Cabernets in Napa Valley. For the following two decades, they meticulously
stewarded the property's potential, bringing it to the status of California “First Growth”. In 2013,
this historic vineyard was acquired by the Pinault family and Groupe Artemis, owners of
Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, arguably the most renowned winery in the World.
