The 2017 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California, is a standout example of its varietal and region. This wine is composed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and is noted for its deep garnet-purple hue, as highlighted by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, which awarded it a high score of 97. The publication describes the wine as having a "fragrant core of plum preserves, crème de cassis, blueberry compote, and Morello cherries," complemented by notes of stewed Darjeeling tea and tobacco leaf, finishing with a touch of pencil shavings.

James Suckling gave this vintage an impressive score of 98, praising its "aromas of blueberries and currants" and a floral hint of violets. He highlights its "seamless tannins" and the "true beauty and pureness of fruit," noting the wine's finesse and focus. Suckling suggests that while the wine is already enjoyable, it will reach its peak after 2023.

Wine Spectator also provided a glowing review, scoring the wine 96 points. It emphasizes a "prominent tobacco leaf note" and "a deep well of warm steeped black currant and blackberry fruit." The finish is described as having "flashes of Turkish coffee, humus, and roasted bay leaf," which linger on the palate, allowing the core of fruit to expand. The review underscores the wine's distinctive terroir, suggesting it will be at its best between 2022 and 2042.
