Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 90 points

  September 11, 2014 - Starts out spritzy and needs a few good, vigorous shakes to smooth out to drinkability. Even then it is a little edgy, with some raspy tannin. It does a lot to civilize itself with air - at least an hour in the decanter is best. After that it's very nice and I can honestly say I have never had anything quite like it. It is full of fresh red fruit on the absolute cutting edge of ripeness in a Loire-like fashion, but I've had a lot of Sancerre rouge from pinot noir and they are nothing like this - this is almost something I would mistake for cabernet franc. All that said, there is nothing even hinting at greenness here. It has a sharpness and spine to it but the fruit is all vibrant red berries with a just-crushed freshness.

  9/17/14, 9:20 AM - I love all the Eminence road wines.. did you get them in DC? I get them in NY . The Cabernets.. both Franc and Sauvignon are also great, as is the skin contact Gewurztraminer and the Chardonnay.
  I have had the Regular 2012 Pinot, not the Eliz and its amazing and a bit more "pinot" like if you will.. brilliant wines..
