Eisele Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley Estate 2018
Once again, this nectar ranks atop our short list of the best Sauvignon Blanc on Earth and must be tasted to believe the harmonious blend of ultra-fresh citrus fruit across a sumptuous and silky texture. Ethereal aromas of lemon zest and honeysuckle lead to delightful notes of caramelized grapefruit slices, crème Brule, and freshly baked Granny Smith apple pie. This voluptuous white wine delivers tremendous purity of fruit with an elegant minerality to add a layer of sophistication rarely achieved in Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years. Bravo!
Eisele Vineyard Winery
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.
