Volker Eisele Family Estate is situated in the Chiles Valley District, one of sixteen grape growing appellations within the Napa Valley Viticultural Area.

Staff Pick Notes

No matter where a wine is from I get interested if it has a few things going on: a great vintage, time spent in the bottle, and a great price. This one has all that. An absolute barnstormer blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot fruit sourced from vines throughout the entire Volker Eisele estate allow this wine to show us how varying terrain, different clones, and different rootstocks produce a gossamer web of flavor identities brought together in a blend that is essentially a snapshot in time of a dynamic, ever-changing vineyard.

Once in the mouth, this wine shows incredible oak integration, with flavors of dark cherry and cherry chocolate chip gelato. Nutmeg and vanilla keep us company on a long finish.
