Eisele Vineyard Syrah 2018
The Winery
Eisele Vineyard
Since the 1970’s, the Eisele Vineyard, located in the north east region of the Napa Valley just at the base of the Palisades Mountains, has grown Cabernet Sauvignon with impressive longevity. Fruit from this site has inhabited the bottles of legendary producers including Ridge and Conn Creek during the early 1970’s, Joseph Phelps from 1975 to 1991, and Araujo from the 1990’s until 2013. Bordeaux’s Pinault Family (owners of first growth, Chateau Latour) purchased the estate in 2016 and the wines were rebranded by the name of the historic vineyard itself. Biodynamically farmed, Eisele Vineyard continues to enjoy its status as one of Napa Valley’s true “cult” wines.
Summary
The Eisele Vineyard Syrah 2018 is a distinguished red wine from Napa's historic Eisele site, which is renowned for its organic and biodynamic farming practices. This Syrah, planted on cobbly alluvial soils, showcases a blend of flavors typical of the varietal, including vivid notes of blackberry, violet, and olive, complemented by hints of pepper and smoked meat, and a subtle graphite nuance. Its fine-grained tannins and lively acidity contribute to a well-structured profile, making it a benchmark for Napa Syrah. This magnum format promises an impressive aging potential, allowing for a graceful evolution over 15 to 25 years.
