Volker Eisele Family Estate, tucked into the cooler reaches of Napa’s Chiles Valley, has long been a hidden gem for elegant, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Their organically farmed vineyards, planted at higher elevations, yield wines with both richness and lift, avoiding the overripe tendencies of warmer valley floor sites. The 2016 vintage, a near-perfect growing season, resulted in a beautifully structured Cabernet with depth, freshness, and long-term aging potential.

Cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry form the core, layered with graphite, cedar, and a touch of bay leaf. The tannins are firm yet refined, supporting the wine’s concentration without overshadowing its balance. While already showing impressive complexity with a long decant, this is a Cabernet that will only improve over the next decade. A natural fit for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or simply an evening dedicated to savoring Napa’s more restrained, classically styled side.

Wine Enthusiast

"Waxy and reductive at first, this wine opens slowly to reveal black olive, plum and a sinewy texture. It has balanced power on the midpalate alongside a mix of oaky char, dark chocolate and clove that finish in unison."
