Eisele Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2023

97 points James Suckling: "A really exotic sauvignon blanc with aromas of green melon, stones, peaches, green apples, Meyer lemons and lychees. It’s full-bodied and phenolic, with oyster shells and a briney character from the lees. One of the most structured whites I have had from here. Drink or hold. (Feb 2025)"

96+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc leaps from the glass with bolds notes of lime leaves, fresh grapefruit, and wild thyme, followed by nuances of chalk dust, brine, wet pebbles, and elderflower. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is fabulously saline/mineral, featuring bright citrus and herbal flavors with a racy line and silky texture, finishing long and tangy. This was bottled in August 2024. Drink 2026-2034 (Mar 2025)"

93 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc spent 12 months on the lees in a mix of stainless steel eggs (23%), concrete eggs (12%), used oak barrels (33%) and new oak barrels (32%). A hint of pencil shavings accents the aromas of grapefruit, gooseberries and nectarines on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is plump and slightly creamy, culminating in a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink 2024-2030 (Oct 2024)"

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Already bottled, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc has a perfumed, vibrant style in its citrus, pineapple, and minty herb-driven aromas, and it's medium-bodied, vibrant, and classy on the palate. This racy, vibrant, beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc will have a decade or more of longevity. Drink 2025-2035 (Jan 2025)"
