Wine Spectator
Smooth and rich, this wine is deceptively complex, with pretty mocha, vanilla bean and oak flavors along with lots of plum, currant and black cherry tones that turn supple and gain elegance. Tannins are ripe and polished. Best from 2002 through 2012. 2,710 cases made.
Score: 94. —James Laube, October 31, 2000.Wine Advocate
The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, is a beauty. The healthy ruby/purple color is followed by classic, unevolved but promising aromas of minerals, cedar, smoke, and black currants. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with admirable purity, a sweet, lush mid-palate, and ripe tannin in the finish. The top-notch 1997 is a classic, restrained. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.
Score: 92. —Robert Parker, December 2000.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
