Community Tasting Note

cooberp Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 18, 2014 - 1987 Eisele Cab Horizontal (No. 9 Millerton): Very similar to the Barbara & Milt Eisele Vineyards Cab of the same vintage it was tasted alongside--we had a lot of trouble keeping them straight. This has a bit more cedar and mint alongside the sweet cassis, a little plusher and plumper, possibly slightly redder-fruited, with less prominent acid and maybe a bit shorter. But I'm grasping at straws here: the producers clearly played the hand the vineyard and vintage dealt them in roughly the same way. As with the other wine, I'd peg this blind as an outstanding traditionally made Cali Cab from a ripe year aged 20-30 in a heartbeat, but wouldn't have been able to say anything more detailed. Great typicity, not much specificity.
