The Wine: 2008 Evodia
The Price: $9.99 at QFC
This is another wine from the Eric Solomon selection. Eric Solomon specializes in importing Grenaches. The last Solomon import I reviewed was 85% Grenache, 15% Syrah. The Evodia is 100% Grenache from vineyards planted as long as 100 years ago. The wine is from Calatayud appellation of Spain.
The wine bottle was sealed with a natural cork and decanted an hour before tasting.
The wine is dark purple in color and has aromas of blackberries, cherries and cassis. It is a very flavorful wine, bursting with blackberry and cherry flavors, with a bit of a vanilla undertone and a mildly peppery finish.
This is the second Eric Solomon wine I've tasted, and I must say that he really seems to know how to pick winners! I highly recommend this one!
