Country: US / Family Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Volker Eisele Family Estate / Napa Valley
While this isn’t in the same league as the winery’s stunning Alexander reserve-style bottling of Cabernet, it’s an approximation of it and, at about one-third the price, a pretty good value. The wine is rich in blackberry, currant and cedar flavors, and balanced with gorgeous tannins, showing true Napa elegance. Drink now–2012.
