Early Mountain Eluvium 2016 Review
If you aren’t comfy with e-commerce this might be the time to figure that out, cuz this wine is only available on the site and is one of the best red wines coming out of the commonwealth of Virginia. Heck, it's just an amazing red wine period. It is soft yet powerful, elegant yet structured, with balanced fruit aromas of cherries and blackberries with a waft of fresh tobacco (a sign of well managed vineyards) for good measure and the palate is velvety yet deep. You’ll drink this wine and keep saying, really? Virginia? Yeah really, this wine is wonderful.
