The 2021 vintage was exceptional across Napa Valley, and Eisele Vineyard once again affirms its status as a benchmark estate. Sourced exclusively from the eastern block, this 100% estate-grown Cabernet expresses the energy of its rocky, volcanic soils and younger vines. In the glass, it reveals fresh forest aromas, deep blue and purple fruit, and a refined, mineral-driven finish, capturing the essence of this historic Calistoga estate.

The 2021 vintage began with a dry winter and warm spring, leading to early budbreak and balanced canopy growth. Seasonable summer temperatures ensured ideal veraison, while controlled misting and canopy management maintained berry consistency through late heat waves. A long ripening period, akin to 2016 and 2019, resulted in optimal skin maturity and depth of flavor.
