This delivers a bright array of ripe blue and dark fruit on the nose with a wealth of rich, succulent length, depth and detail. This has a lot to offer now but will also deliver in years ahead.
92pts Vinous
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is bold, powerful and authoritative, with plenty of dark fruit to play off the muscular tannins. Inky blue/purplish fruit, leather, smoke, graphite and scorched earth add attractive bassy undertones throughout. Brooding in personality and yet also very much mid-weight in feel, the 2016 has a lot to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.
92pts Wine Enthusiast
Waxy and reductive at first, this wine opens slowly to reveal black olive, plum and a sinewy texture. It has balanced power on the midpalate alongside a mix of oaky char, dark chocolate and clove that finish in unison.
Tasting Notes
The Volker Eisele Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep purplish red offering an abundance of dark berries and stone fruit aromas mixed with hints of pipe tobacco and pencil shavings. The medium- to full-bodied palate displays a welcoming freshness which ushers in lush flavors of just-picked blackberries, black cherries and ripe plum accented with a touch of espresso. These fruits are intertwined with bold, yet ultra-fine tannins which support this wine towards its beautifully long finish. Enjoy with a grilled New York strip smothered in caramelized onions and mushroom served with a potato and garlic purée.
