2005 NAPA VALLEY CABERNET BLEND

63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 16% Merlot

Napa Valley, Chiles Valley, Volker Eisele Vineyard
 

Volker and Liesel Eisele's vineyard is located in the Chiles Valley District of Napa Valley. The fruit for this wine all comes from a block that Volker and his son have replanted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

This is our third 'Meritage' wine from the Eisele Vineyard . Blended in a 'Bordeaux' style, it is an outstanding combination of flavors and textures. The wine is a deep reddish purple color with lovely clove, spice and berry notes in the nose. The blend has a soft tannic structure resulting from the Merlot and Cabernet Franc and finishes with a nice touch of toasty French oak.
