A blend of 88% Grenache, 9% Shiraz and 3% Graciano, the 100% estate-grown, medium garnet-purple colored 2012 Eclipse is profoundly scented of red currant jelly, raspberry preserves and dried mulberries with an undercurrent of spice cake, pepper, cardamom and eucalyptus. Big, full and richly fruited on the palate, the generous red berry preserve and spicy flavors are well supported by medium to firm, velvety tannins and enlivening acid through the finish with great persistence. Drink it now to 2024+.
