Situated on an ancient alluvial fan in Calistoga, Eisele Vineyard stands as one of Napa Valley's premier sites, celebrated for producing Cabernet Sauvignon of exceptional longevity and distinct mineral drive. The long, cool 2023 vintage allowed for extended hang time and full phenolic maturity while preserving pristine natural acidity. The wine opens with an expressive nose of dark cassis, black plum, graphite, and violets, underlaid by subtle nuances of dried sage, cedar, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied and finely sculpted, featuring dense dark fruit framed by svelte tannins and a bright core of freshness. A streak of stony minerality carries into a long, polished finish, yielding a classic, cellar-worthy expression that will reward patience over the next two to three decades.
