Eisele Vineyard Altagracia Cabernet Sauvignon Mixed Vintage Case #2 6x750ml

The Eisele Vineyard Altagracia Cabernet Sauvignon Mixed Vintage Case #2 is a highly collectible, limited-release curated OWC (Original Wooden Case) direct from the iconic Eisele Vineyard estate in Calistoga, Napa Valley.

Rather than featuring a single year, this special multi-vintage vertical collection features a side-by-side exploration of the estate's terroir across different growing seasons. Altagracia is sourced primarily from the eastern, volcanic hillside parcels of the estate and is crafted with the same elite biodynamic standards as their flagship Cabernet. Because these mixed cases are released in tiny quantities directly to the winery's mailing list and select global importers, they provide an exceptional opportunity to compare how Eisele’s signature minerality and structural elegance evolve over time.

What to Expect in the Case

• The Format: Typically presented as an insulated, estate-stamped 6-bottle wooden case ($6 \times 750\text{ml}$).

• The Vintages: While exact combinations can vary depending on the specific importer allotment, "Case #2" allocations generally focus on a sequence of back-to-back exceptional Napa vintages (such as a trio pairing like 2019, 2020, and 2021 or 2018, 2019, and 2020).

• The Experience: It highlights the structural shift between a classic, plush year (like 2019), a low-yielding, highly concentrated and perfumed year (like 2020), and a structured, cool-toned intellectual year (like 2021).

The Wine Profile (Altagracia Style)

• The Bouquet: Intensely fragrant, leaping from the glass with red and dark fruits (wild strawberries, blackcurrants, cassis) layered with dried rose petals, dark tea, tobacco leaf, and a distinct, graphite-like crushed volcanic stone minerality.

• The Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied and far more seamless and weightless than a typical, heavy Napa Cabernet. It balances savory spice (cinnamon, cocoa) with an energetic line of natural acidity.

• The Tannins: Elegant, powdery, and tight-knit, ensuring excellent mid-term aging potential across all vintages in the box.
