2015 vintage. Decanted (a little sed) and tasted after one hour. Medium heavy body. Some chunkiness in play with the famous Eisele Vineyard power consistently pushing forwards with zero letup/flagging. Slightly less complexity than anticipated based on a few visits over the years and the one hour open/decant boundary. Maybe it would have improved slightly but do not feel the presentation of flavors would have necessarily been more attractive down the road. Based on this effort, would probably look to hit again in 2030. 12.28.25. — 4 days ago

Didn’t even need to decant. Singing right after pulling the cork. — 5 months ago

Very approachable now. Exotic nose of tropical fruits with a hint of chives. Lemon sherbet on the mid-palate with moderate to soft acidity, suggesting that this is for short-term cellaring. Beautiful white peach notes and light sweetness conclude a superb overall presentation. — 7 months ago

Softer than expected. Elegant and approachable. Nice. Completely different tha Mayacamas in the same year. Those elevations make a real difference. — 8 days ago

1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid deep ruby red color with some bricking. On the nose: Enticing perfumed notes of dark red fruit, worn leather, herbaceous, floral, mint, stewed meat. Taste: silky, layered with depth and length wine.... opulent red fruit, cassis, damp earth, new leather, green bell pepper, and a long finish with beautifully resolved tannins. YUM! — 5 months ago

PJW 6 pack #2 - There’s an ocean of this Napa fruitopia around - perfectly refined yet boring - I switched back to the OTH CDP. Paul says the French bought Eisele from Araujo - I hope they haven’t ruined the cab as well — 5 months ago

PJW #3 - better than the Eisele Syrah - fruit forward, not offensive, pretty fresh, but weird little acidic twist at the end — 5 months ago
