Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon OWC 2015 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon charges from the gate with exuberant red and black cherries notes, black currants and mulberries with a beautiful roses and lavender perfume, plus hints of sandalwood and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, concentrated and downright explosive in the mouth, it is still wearing loads of gorgeous puppy-fat fruit flavors, offering suggestions of the complex, multilayered blockbuster that it will emerge into. The structure deserves its own mention: wonderful, seamless freshness and oh-so-fine, pixelated tannins, with an extraordinary persistence of fruit and mineral nuances. Wow.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

There is a wealth of information and much love out there for the wines from this legendary vineyard. It exemplifies the idea of a “First Growth” in the Napa Valley, and is, in fact, owned by one -- Chateau Latour. We’d encourage you to Google some of the history that begins with the now near-mythical 1971 RIDGE EISELE (your humble scribe has tasted this wine and it is miraculous). HERE’S a good start. On through the Araujo years, the wine always distinguished itself and was easily in the same tier as Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle and the like. “Aristocratic” might be a good word. And it is clear the current owners have no plans to stray from that legacy, certainly based on the press! : “wonderful, seamless freshness and oh-so-fine, pixelated tannins, with an extraordinary persistence of fruit and mineral nuances. Wow.” WA100

 

The 2015 from the spectacular 2015 Napa vintage, and in the hands of the Chateau Latour winemaking team...well, it’s a stunner. A cellar centerpiece. A clear “wow” wine for special occasions. An amazing gift to a wine geek in your life. Out of magnum in gorgeous wood boxes? This will be one for the ages, a wine that will rival the very best wines ever made from this vineyard, of which there are many!

About the Producer

In wine, there is nothing so immutable as the land. Vintages offer variation, as do winemakers and proprietors. Mother Nature is capricious, always wanting the last word. But the land is a constant, its geology and composition immovable. At the heart of every great wine is a piece of land like no other.

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.

The vision of Eisele’s newest steward, the Pinault family (Chateau Latour) is nothing less than to re-embrace the long history of Eisele Vineyard while realizing the full potential of this remarkable estate. Preserving and expanding upon the vineyard’s distinguished legacy in Napa Valley — and among the great winegrowing estates of the world — is both an honor and their aspiration.
