Volker Eisele Family Estate creates enticing wines from the Chiles Valley appellation of the Napa Valley. Organically farmed for forty years, the Estate produces wines of uncommon balance and finesse.
All fruit for the four limited production wines is grown in our Chiles Valley vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its elegance, depth and complexity. Terzetto is a unique proprietary blend of co-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, while Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, combined in the Bordeaux style, create the luscious Gemini.

76% Semillon 24% Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2014 Gemini begins with aromas of Meyer lemon, mandarin oranges, and wet stone, with a subtle underlying
sweetness of vanilla bean. In the mouth, the palate is round and textured with flavors of candied citrus peel and a hint of
pineapple, with a racy acidity that brings out the wine’s zingy minerality. This vintage of Gemini strikes an interesting
balance between a round, voluptuous sur-lie aged wine and a crisp, clean stainless steel wine. The result is a
tremendously food-friendly blend which should age brilliantly and continue to wow for years.
87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot.
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon shines a deep burgundy in the glass, with youthful red undertones. The nose is layered
with candied cherry, cassis, pipe smoke, and rich leather, with a subtle wet stone minerality. In the mouth, the wine has
a dark cherry core, with blueberry, spicy plum, and Chinese 5-spice powder woven together in a complex matrix with
supple and mouth-filling tannins. The finish is long, with a sustained brown sugar, toasted oak sweetness.
