Eclipse Wines

Fratelli Giorgi

Giorgi 1870 Grancuveè Storica Oltrepò Pavese Pinot Nero

This shining star was not eclipsed today! Smoky and yeasty with a green leather note, lemon, quince, almonds, star fruit and the memory of chive. A clean, dry ice, nitrogen aroma lingers. Brioche that transmogrifies to scone, with berry esters and edible orchid. Yeast will yield ripe citrus of clementine pith and lemon essence when agitated, but a cleanness abounds and gives this the refined austerity of a reflected holy light. Beautiful!! Perfection during the eclipse! Nero at ground zero! #eclipse #eclipsewine #metodoclassico #giorgi #oltrepopavese #bubbles #sparklingwine #blancdenoir #pinotnero — 8 years ago

50% cab sauce, 25% merlot plus others. Rich fruity and dark. Nice tannins — 9 years ago

Château Virgile

Costières-de-Nîmes Rosé Blend 2014

A really nice rosé. Beautiful light salmon color. A lot like a Riesling on the nose: mineral and tropical blossoms, with just hints of strawberry, peach and cream. Pretty strong acid, but still smooth on the tongue, and a rich explosion of aromas that linger long and far eclipse the intensity of the nose. Remarkable! Made a great pairing with Indian food: the acid cut through, and the aromas on the palate fully held their own. My favorite rosé yet! — 9 years ago

My first shared bottle of wine at a restaurant! 👨‍❤️‍👨

Gentilini

Cephalonia Robola

I love Gentilini's sexy, opulent red wine, "Eclipse," but this shape-shifting white Robola started shimmering, plush, and phat, but as it warmed up next to spicy fare, a honeyed Semillon richness arrived. Really good at either end of the spectrum! — 10 years ago

Perseus Winery & Vineyards

Eclipse Okanagan Valley Red Blend

Great red, but quite pricey. Would get it as a gift or for special occasions, not for everyday drinking. Exceptional wine though — 8 years ago

Linne Calodo

Nemesis Paso Robles Syrah Blend 2010

Wonderful GSM blend that speaks of the land of which it came from. Maybe one of the darkest wines I have seen in the glass. Perfume of a nose, violets, lavender and sandalwood. Soft mouthfeel despite the eclipse in the glass. Lush black fruits, hint of licorice and black cherry. Balanced tannins and acidity. Finish shows the finesse and balance of bottle aging. — 9 years ago

Brilliant wine, this Eclipse

Fifty Fifty Brewing Company

Eclipse Imperial Stout 2012

2012 Rebel Yell: Not as memorable as the bottle opened last year.
Dates, cold brew coffee, toffee and just enough oxidized character to be interesting, but still past its prime.
Rated as an average between samples.
