Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

From magnum

1 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment). A gorgeous dark purplish ruby red color. On the nose: Alluring perfumed notes of red fruit, black olives, forest floor, tobacco leaf, nutmeg. Taste: velvety, elegant wine with cherry/red plum, cedar, spice, loamy soil, and a long minerally dark chocolate espresso finish. YUM!

I Treasure all I have before Latour took over. Not saying theirs isn’t delicious, but the originals just had a note!

@Rick Phillips Agree. Still have a number of pre 2013 vintages. Cheers!

Altagracia Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Softer than expected. Elegant and approachable. Nice. Completely different tha Mayacamas in the same year. Those elevations make a real difference. — 5 months ago

PJW #3 - better than the Eisele Syrah - fruit forward, not offensive, pretty fresh, but weird little acidic twist at the end — 9 months ago

They make one of the few SB’s I enjoy.

Eisele Vineyard

Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

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. — 5 months ago

Eisele Vineyard Syrah 2019

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 — 9 months ago

Eisele Vineyard Viognier 2013

At some point i had to show off my Frankensteinian Argon line with a 50L tank below hahaha. This 14.6%‘er needed to settle down after opening and the system allowed me to taste this over 5 days+++. Waxy, viscous and super rich. Jasmine galore, white flowers, honeysuckle, honey, waxy, pretty herbaceous and touch bitter. Fantastic with the right food. Some dish with sprinkled blue cheese would be a match made in heaven. On its own just over the top. — 4 months ago

Forgot that they ever made Viognier. Nice!

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Fantastic bottling! I feel that Martha's Vineyard is a very under appreciated and under valued bottling from the Napa Valley. One of the oldest vineyard specific bottling in California behind Monte Bello and Eisele Vineyard. — 5 months ago
