Eisele Vineyard Viognier 2013

At some point i had to show off my Frankensteinian Argon line with a 50L tank below hahaha. This 14.6%‘er needed to settle down after opening and the system allowed me to taste this over 5 days+++. Waxy, viscous and super rich. Jasmine galore, white flowers, honeysuckle, honey, waxy, pretty herbaceous and touch bitter. Fantastic with the right food. Some dish with sprinkled blue cheese would be a match made in heaven. On its own just over the top. — 5 months ago

Eisele Vineyard

Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

2015 vintage. Decanted (a little sed) and tasted after one hour. Medium heavy body. Some chunkiness in play with the famous Eisele Vineyard power consistently pushing forwards with zero letup/flagging. Slightly less complexity than anticipated based on a few visits over the years and the one hour open/decant boundary. Maybe it would have improved slightly but do not feel the presentation of flavors would have necessarily been more attractive down the road. Based on this effort, would probably look to hit again in 2030. 12.28.25. — 6 months ago

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Fantastic bottling! I feel that Martha's Vineyard is a very under appreciated and under valued bottling from the Napa Valley. One of the oldest vineyard specific bottling in California behind Monte Bello and Eisele Vineyard. — 7 months ago

Lovely. Beautiful and elephant nose blackberry , tar and cigar notes. Well balanced and smooth. Medium to full body with a LONG finish. Breathing for an hour and drinking really well. Many years still to go on the drinking window — 4 years ago

Mayacamas Vineyards

California Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1975

1975 Mayacamas. Dinner at Tap w Frederic. Drank last, after the 1975 Phelps Eisele and the 1990 Leroy. We opened and poured it. The nose was a little dusty at first (Frederic detected a little cork, even), but this blew off pretty quickly. This wine was the opposite of the Eisele, which was refined and elegant. This wine was muscular and punchy. A much bigger wine in the mouth. Will probably last longer than the Eisele. — 5 years ago

Altagracia II Napa Red Wine Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Eisele Vineyard ‘Altagracia’ 2012: Medium-full bodied. Elegant balance. Fine-grained tannins. Ripe delicious flavors of black fruits, plum & cherry, graphite, vanilla & oak. Smooth memorable finish. Consisting of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot & 4% Malbec, this Bordeaux-style red blend from Napa was a big winner! Strong aromas, smooth rich flavors. Drinking amazingly well right now. Highly recommend. Great weekend to all. Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

B

1990 Leroy Richebourg. Dinner at Tap w Frederic. Drank after the 1975 Phelps Eisele and before the 1975 Mayacamas. We decanted just before serving and it definitely needed more time to open up. The nose was elegant and multidimensional, but perhaps because we didn’t give the wine enough time, the wine was very restrained in the mouth. Beautiful fruit up front, really elegant finish, but almost no mid-palate. Very austere in the middle. This righted itself once the wine had some time. — 5 years ago
