Eisele Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml

100/100 Jeb Dunnuck: Incredibly pure, seamless, and elegant, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon shows classic Eisele red and black currants, new leather, dried flowers, spice, and loamy earth in a multi-dimensional, full-bodied style. Aged 21 months in 100% new oak (54% new French barrels and 46% new Austrian and French foudres), it has refined, seamless tannins, flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish. It’s very much in the style of the vintage and this site, which never yields the biggest or richest wine, yet one of complexity, elegance, and finesse, while still bringing concentrated fruit and texture. This is a world-class, First Growth-like effort that will stand toe to toe with the best in the world. Hide bottles for a decade if you can, and it will be a 40- to 50-year wine. Drink 2035-2075.
