Early Mountain Eluvium 2020 Review

Early Mountain's achievements and love of the land are almost unmatched in the Commonwealth...almost (there are so many pioneers in Virginia). They have such a presence in the state, and are focused on prioritizing sustainability and inclusivity. This wine is just one example of what this producer is capable of. The nose is filled with forest fruit (earthy and tart). The palate has a great natural acidity, which is awesome because the fruit and tannins are significant and need that lean acid to keep the wine refreshing. It's still aging, but really showing well now.
