Eisele has always been a Grand Cru that consistently produces excellent wines, but the first time Eisele appeared on a label was the 1971 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele produced by Paul Draper. Following Ridge, Conn Creek produced a 1974 Eisele and from 1975 to 1991 Joseph Phelps produced his brilliant Eisele Cabernet Sauvignons. In 1990, Daphne and Bart Araujo purchased Eisele. The Araujo’s continued to make superb terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignons, arguably elevating what was already an incredible terroir. In 2013, the Araujo’s sold the prized vineyard to the Pinault family from France, who also own Château Latour. To honor this legendary terroir, they named the wine they produced “Eisele Vineyard”.
