WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Volker Eisele Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of vineyard blocks from throughout the entire estate. Varying terrain, different clones, and different rootstocks produce a patchwork of flavor identities between the vineyard blocks and their resulting cuvees, brought together in a blend that is essentially a snapshot in time of a dynamic, ever-changing vineyard.
TASTING NOTES:
This is made from the producer’s Chiles Valley estate, organically farmed, and blended with 25% Merlot. A bright, perfumed nose of rose and sage leads to a soft, cohesive and well-integrated midpalate of dark cherry, raspberry and hints of vanilla and herb. It shows great length and breadth.
– Wine Enthusiast, 92 pts.
A dense and velvety red with berry, chocolate and walnut character. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now or hold.
