Don't confuse this estate with its famous Calistoga namesake — Volker Eisele Family is a different family entirely, tucked away in Napa's cooler, higher Chiles Valley District. Founded by Volker Eisele in 1974 and farmed organically from the very beginning, the estate is now run by his wife Liesel and son Alexander, who continue the founder's vision of restrained, food-friendly Napa wines. The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a deliciously unusual take on the variety — co-fermented in stainless steel with 18% Sémillon, giving it a textured, almost Bordeaux-blanc feel underneath the bright Meyer lemon, passion fruit, and wet-stone minerality. Loire-inspired and concentrated, this isn't your average Napa SB.

"From the family's estate vineyards in Chiles Valley, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc includes a healthy dollop of Sémillon (18%). Made entirely in stainless steel, it boasts grassy and grapefruity aromas, and it's fresh and zesty on the nose. In the mouth, it's medium-bodied, plump, concentrated and fleshy, maybe even a bit heavy-seeming on the palate, but it's flavorful and long on the finish." —Joe Czerwinski

"Guava and papaya, lemongrass, and a squeeze of salted lime deliver a complex of palate stimulating and delicious flavor. Persistent, mouthwatering acidity carries a silken mouthfeel through a distinctive and refined Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is enjoyable now but will also continue to gain complexity in the bottle if held in cellar. Enjoy!" —Elaine Chukan Brown

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A natural with shellfish — oysters, ceviche, grilled shrimp. Also lovely with goat cheese salads, roast chicken with herbs, summer crudités, or pan-seared white fish dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and concentrated, with Meyer lemon, passion fruit, mandarin, and jasmine layered over a textured, almost waxy Sémillon-driven mid-palate. The finish is dry, mineral, and persistent — wet-stone grip carrying through bright citrus.
