Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon OWC 2015 (Magnum 1.5L)
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!
