'03 was considered a down year in Napa Valley. Not true for this marvelous wine. Bart and Daphne should be proud of this marvelous Eisele Vineyards Cabernet. Such a Joy. A wine cellar is a necessity for those who want to have treasures like this at their peak. — 9 years ago

A fabulously constructed Cabernet. Great balance of tannins and fruit. Only criticism is mid pallet. Sort of lacking.

2011 Vintage opened March 2016. Soft blue fruit and violets upfront with intense and rich earth and red/black fruit in the finish. The acid is intense and a quite angular. Second bottle was super rustic and much more angular not sure if it was me or the bottle...took a 9.3 down to a 9.0 — 9 years ago
