Pure, Chiseled, and Magnificently Sculpted

Hailing from a legendary alluvial fan in Calistoga, the 2021 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in tension and classical restraint. The exceptionally cool, slow-ripening 2021 vintage allowed the estate to produce a wine of immense aromatic precision, trading away hot fruit extract for stunning layers of pure cassis, graphite, and crushed volcanic rock. Full-bodied yet weightless, it is framed by ultra-fine, chiseled tannins and a vibrant line of acidity that ensures a spectacular, multi-decade life in the cellar.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Robert Parker [96+] pts
James Suckling [99] pts
  • 96+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "All Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon starts off with vaguely floral and pronounced leafy notes backed by ripe black cherries and hints of dusty earth. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, expansive and silky in texture, with a long, softly tannic and mocha-tinged finish. It should evolve well for at least two decades."
  • 99 Points - James Suckling: "The aromas of hazelnut, blueberries, tobacco, bay leaf, terra cotta and iodine are very impressive and broad, giving great interest. Notes of spearmint and eucalyptus. Full-bodied yet hemmed in with firm, velvety tannins that frame the wine nicely with plums,chocolate and spice. Refined tannins. 45% aged in 10-hectoliter casks. Hand crafted. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink after 2029."
  • The Singular Terroir: Tucked into the foothills of the Palisades range in northern Napa Valley, the Eisele Vineyard spans an alluvial fan dominated by volcanic gravel, cobbles, and stones. This exceptionally well-drained soil limits vine vigor naturally, yielding small berries with intense skins and an unmistakable ink-and-iron minerality.
  • Biodynamic Purity under French Guidance: Managed by Latour-owner François Pinault’s Artémis Domaines since 2013, the property relies completely on certified biodynamic farming methods. This focus on natural soil ecology allows the winemaking team to extract high native definition and stunning aromatic precision from the site.

Highlights

  • A flawless expression of 100% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon from the historic Eisele Vineyard in Calistoga.
  • 100% certified organic and biodynamic viticulture under elite French-led technical stewardship.
  • Aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels from select cooperages to effortlessly polish the vintage's majestic structure.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby-black core with an elegant, clear violet rim.
  • Nose: Intensely fragrant, aristocratic, and precise, bursting with high-toned aromas of fresh cassis, dark cherry skin, and graphite, accented by subtle nuances of blue florals, tobacco leaf, and cedar wood spice.
  • Palate: Bone-dry, full-bodied, yet strikingly linear. A pure, laser-focused entry of dark orchard fruits gives way to a brilliantly chiseled mid-palate. Ultra-fine, pixelated tannins and an electric line of natural acidity handle the immense concentration effortlessly, carrying the wine into a long, mineral-laden, and highly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at cellar-cool room temperature (16–18°C). Keeping it fresh focuses the highly detailed aromatics and keeps the cool-vintage structure perfectly aligned.
  • Decanting: Given the tight, high-tension framework of this cool 2021 harvest, a 2-hour decant is highly recommended if opening anytime soon. This legendary bottling features an exceptional, slow-maturing architecture built to age gracefully through 2050–2060.
  • Western Pairing: Prime dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb with rosemary, slow-braised beef cheeks, or roasted venison loin.
  • Asian Pairing: Slow-braised pork belly (東坡肉), premium stir-fried beef cubes with black pepper, or roasted Peking Duck (北京烤鴨).
