Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga Napa Valley 2021
Certified CCOF and Demeter Certified Biodynamic - Dry Farmed
The Eisele Vineyard 2021 is a profound and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering layers of blueberry, blackcurrant, and crushed violets. Its silky tannins and impeccable balance highlight the purity of fruit and the signature minerality of this historic vineyard. This vintage is poised for both early allure and long-term aging.
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.
