2020 Eisele Vineyard 'Altagracia' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: The Eisele Vineyard character continues to show more evidently every year in the Altagracia blend, expressing the singular quality of the estate-grown fruit from our Eastern parcels. Very fragrant and expressive, the 2020 Altagracia unveils a floral nose with dried rose petals intertwined with wild strawberries, red currant, cranberry, and a hint of pink pepper and santal. The mouthfeel is round and silky with subtle flavors of black tea, cinnamon, orange peel and cocoa. The texture of tight-knit tannins coating the palate, leads to a long aniseed finish. This delicious and vibrant Altagracia displays a smiling personality that offers a strong and elegant response to the difficulties of the year. Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia was tasted as a finished blend barrel sample. Deep purple-black in color, it has a fragrant nose of potpourri and Indian spices over a core of kirsch, warm cassis and plum preserves, plus a waft of camphor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully juicy and perfumed, with alluring elegance and freshness, finishing long. Barrel Sample: 92-94"
