Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Napa 2020
This is yet another intensely delicious, refreshing, and particularly satisfying vintage of this personal favorite. The core features the same ultra-rich texture and exotic fruit flavors I adore such as key lime tart, caramelized grapefruit slices, and honey crisp apples plus hits of ginger on the finish. Compared to recent vintages, this edition is particularly savory and elegant in style which means it will pair with an array of fresh seafood menus and French cheeses for happy hour sipping. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years.
Eisele Estate 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.
