Red dry
Eisele Vineyard Altagracia Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an exceptional red wine from the prestigious Eisele Vineyard farm located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. This vintage captivates with its structure, depth and elegance - a wine that combines modern precision with the classic character of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel or concrete tanks, adhering to strict temperature control (~25-30°C). The wine is aged for about 18-20 months in 100% French oak barrels, often more than 80% new.
The wine is characterized by a rich palette of dark berries - blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries. The taste sensation is subtly complemented by vanilla, cedar, chocolate and soft tones of toasted oak. Tannins - velvety, perfectly integrated, allowing this wine to mature for many more years.
Serve at 16-18 °C with roast beef, game dishes, red meat stews with mushrooms/truffles.
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon was tasted as a finished blend barrel sample. Deep purple-black in color, it delivers fantastically pure blackcurrants and fresh blackberries scents, with wafts of crushed rocks, lavender, clove oil and cinnamon stick, plus a hint of mossy bark. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, finely grained texture to support the ripe, rich, juicy fruit, offset by amazing freshness and energy, finishing long and layered.
Known previously as the Araujo Estate, Eisele Vineyard is now owned by François Pinault of Château Latour in Bordeaux.
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.
Eisele's vision is nothing less than to re-embrace the long history of Vineyard while realizing the full potential of this remarkable estate. Preserving and expanding upon the vineyard’s distinguished legacy in Napa Valley — and among the great winegrowing estates of the world — is both an honor and our aspiration. Through intellectual rigor, humility, and with the utmost respect for the land, our aim is to make wines that speak of the Eisele Vineyard in the most authentic way possible.
