Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014The wines from the extremely hot drought year, 2014, were just bottled prior to my visit. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the vintages precociousness and front end loaded, flattering style. It is medium to full bodied, shows beautiful fruit purity, deep black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, moving toward blacker berries. There is a floral characteristic, spice, and a full bodied, lush mouthfeel with silky tannin.

in addition to the unmistakable scent of black truffles/licorice

jammy blackberries and cassis

cassis and earth aromas

Not surprisingly this is aromatically more elegant with its cool and pure aromas of essence of red berries and lilac scents

This is a large-scaled Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

remarkable equilibrium and noticeable

balanced and moderately austere finale

with an opaque bluish/purple color to the rim

There is a lovely sense of energy and underlying tension to the intensely mineral-driven
