The wine has a concentrated aroma of white musk, grapefruit, fresh rose petals, and a hint of blackcurrant flowers. It then develops aromas of kiwi, nectarine, and tangerine peel. The flavor is bursting with grapefruit and stone fruits. The mouthfeel is creamy and savory, then changes to vanilla and cardamom, and the finish is mellow with texture and freshness. The grapes used are CCOF certified organic and Demeter certified biodynamic. Eisley Vineyard is located on an alluvial fan near the northern end of Napa Valley, east of Calistoga, and has been growing the most long-ripening and flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon since 1971. Protected by the Palisades Mountains to the north and cooled by the cold air from the west through the Chalk Hill Gap, the 15.2 hectare vineyard has well-drained, pebbly soils, which allow for low yields and high concentration of grapes. The wines from this incredible vineyard have a unique combination of straightforward character and precise, well-defined flavors, yet smooth texture and concentration without feeling heavy, and also have the potential to develop complex flavors with aging. Eiseley Vineyards was first planted in the 1880s with Zinfandel and Riesling. Grapes were planted continuously thereafter, with Milt and Barbara Eiseley first planting Cabernet Sauvignon in 1964. After a string of amazing wines in the 1970s, visionary Napa Valley vintner Joseph Phelps would produce what would become his legendary Cabernet Sauvignon. From 1975 until Joseph Phelps' final vintage of Eiseley in 1991, the vineyard produced wines of unparalleled character and quality. In the 1991 vintage, two wines were produced from Eisley Vineyard. One was Phelps' last vintage, and the other was the Arrojo Estate wine released by the Arrojos, who purchased Eisley Vineyard that year. Since then, the wines produced by the Arrojos at Eisley Vineyard have established themselves as one of California's leading cult wines. Since 2000, Arrojo Estate has practiced biodynamic farming, and in 2005, it was certified biodynamic by Demeter. In both the cultivation and brewing fields, the winery has adapted to the rhythm of nature in its winemaking. In 2013, François Pinault, known as the owner of Chateau Latour, a first-class Bordeaux winery in France, Domaine Dugeny and Monopole Clos de Tart in Burgundy, and Chateau Grillet in Condrieu, acquired Arrojo. Under the supervision of Chateau Latour's general manager, Frederic Angela, the winery produces classic and new style Napa Valley wines using grapes from the historic Eiseley. In 2016, to demonstrate the terroir and ability of this vineyard, the winery changed its name to "Eiseley Vineyards" and aims for further growth.
