Volker Eisele Family Estate
The 2002 Volker Eisele Family Estate Terzetto is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The grapes were harvested on September 21 and co-fermented. This wine was aged in 50% new French oak barrels to enhance the aromas of vanilla and roasted coffee that are prevalent. The fruit aromas and flavors are rich and soft reflecting the maturity and quality of the grapes in this proprietary blend.
Wine Advocate
The 2002 Terezetto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue, a plush, opulent palate, and unmistakable elegance as well as complexity. With attractive, complex aromatics as well as impeccable balance, it is a singular statement of French-inspired California winemaking. I especially admired its long finish, and notes of cedar, spice box, black currants, and cherries. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Score: 90 - Robert Parker, December 2005.
