Product Description
RP100 "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. Its nose begins a little reserved, slowly revealing a quiet intensity of freshly crushed blackberries, chocolate-covered cherries, cassis and aniseed with compelling nuances of black tea, cigar box, truffles and charcuterie, plus, with coaxing, gentle wafts of red roses and crushed rocks emerge. The medium to full-bodied palate is simply arresting, offering a a myriad floral and earth sparks amidst a black fruit core and with seamless, firm, very fine-grained tannins. Well-knit freshness brings forth layer after layer of delicate nuances on the very long, mineral-laced finish. The team at Eisele, led by Frédéric Engerer (of Chateau Latour) and beautifully orchestrated by winemaker Hélène Mingot, have knocked it out of the park this vintage with this singular expression that both embraces the site's heritage and reveals parts unknown." LPB for TWA Oct 2018
LP100 "The 2016 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. It needs a lot of swirling to uncover the myriad of black and blue fruit layers - youthful, juicy blackberries, black currants, and plums - followed by suggestions of candied violets, dark chocolate, tilled soil, forest floor, and tapenade. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black berry flavors and an incredible array of earth, spice, and floral nuances, supported by very firm, grainy tannins and lovely tension, finishing long, long, long. Wow!" LPB for TWI Apr 2023
AG99 "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon from Eisele Vineyard is simply monumental. Powerful and persistent, the 2016 marries intensity with finesse in the way only a wine from a world-class site can. Everything is just in the right place. Time in the glass brings out stunning richness in every dimension and truly exceptional pedigree. Dramatic and statuesque in its beauty, the 2016 is a towering Cabernet Sauvignon that shows why Eisele Vineyard is one of the world's great vineyard sites. In a word: epic" AG for VM Jan 2020
