Eisele Vineyard'Altagracia' Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

This is the second wine coming from Eisele Vineyard and for this new vintage, is comprised almost entirely from their estate vineyard in the bench of Calistoga’s palisades. This is a great wine at about a quarter of the price of their Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and can be enjoyed with a decant or by letting it sit open, cork out, for a few hours. “Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia comes bursting forth with vivacious black cherries, blackberries, wild blueberries and cassis notes with touches of cinnamon stick, cloves, forest floor, violets and dusty earth with a waft of violets. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with loads of iron and mineral accents, finishing long and perfumed.” 95 Points, Wine Advocate.
