$139.00
First planted in 1886, Eisele Vineyard has become a treasured Napa Valley site in Calistoga. The now-famous Eisele Vineyard has been celebrated for decades, passing through the hands of big names such as Joseph Phelps, Araujo Estate, and now François Pinault (famous for owning Chateau Latour amongst other world-famous estates) who acquired the estate in 2013.
Transforming the vineyard to Grand Cru levels, the Pinaults put Hélène Mingot and Antoine Donnedieu de Vabres in charge of the winemaking. For the last 10 years, the duo has concocted some of Napa's most spectacular wines, with the recent addition of the 21-acre Frediani Vineyard adding to this spectacle. After the 2013 transition over to François Pinault, critics have been thrilled with the quality across all styles.
Eisele Vineyard has quickly garnered a reputation as "an utterly classic Napa Cabernet," as famed critic Jeb Dunnuck noted on the 2019 vintage. Routinely scoring in the high 90s and receiving perfect scores, Eisele Vineyards has catapulted to global stardom in the past decades, showing that each of the estate's wines is a magnificent choice. Explore our carefully curated Eisele Vineyard wine collection and purchase your bottle today to experience the essence of Eisele Vineyard wines.
The parcels are located on the Eastern side of the property, where the hills provide ideal protection from the afternoon sun, preserving the freshness and energy of this wine. The blending of two Sauvignon Blanc clones: Sauvignon Musque with its slightly exotic flavors, and Sauvignon Blanc with a lean, gravely structure, produces a wine of great pleasure that speaks of the long warm summers and the dry cobbly soils. Starting with the 2013 vintage, extended elevage on the lees has added tension and aromatic complexity to this unique wine.
"Bottled just a month before this tasting, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is another perfumed, exotic white revealing bright lime and honeyed citrus aromatics, some mint herb nuances, medium body, bright acidity, and a clean, focused finish. It has a more subtly rounded mid-palate compared to the 2021 but still plays in this vibrant, focused style beautifully." - 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
