Eisele Vineyard 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley

One of California's top Sauvignon Blancs from Eisele Vineyard. Extremely Limited.

98 Points James Suckling: "Subtle sliced pear and lemon aromas with hints of lavender, white flowers and ginger. Medium- to full-bodied with density and lightness at the same time and polished phenolics. Complex, low-volume aftertaste of candied ginger and apple puree. Drink now."

98 Points Lisa Perroti Brown/The Wine Palate: "The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is made from 76% Sauvignon Musque Clone and 24% Sauvignon Blanc. It was aged in French oak, 40% new, mostly puncheons. Around 30% stainless steel eggs and 10% concrete eggs. This was bottled August 2025. Everything is fermented in their aging vessel. Vivacious notes of passion fruit, fresh pineapple, and white peaches pop from the glass, leading to hints of struck flint, elderflower, and honeysuckle with a hint of lime blossoms. The medium- to full-bodied palate is super-intense with fantastic tension and a satiny texture, finishing long and chalky."

Sauvignon Blanc is the white wine from the Eisele Vineyard. The parcels are located on the Eastern side of the property, where the hills provide ideal protection from the afternoon sun, preserving the freshness and energy of this wine. The blending of two Sauvignon Blanc clones: Sauvignon Musque with its slightly exotic flavors, and Sauvignon Blanc with a lean, gravely structure, produces a wine of great pleasure that speaks of the long warm summers and the dry cobbly soils. Starting with the 2013 vintage, extended elevage on the lees has added tension and aromatic complexity to this unique wine.
