Horton Eclipse Red NV

Horton Eclipse Red is noted for its vibrant tropical fruit character and understated sweetness, complemented by a hint of freshness and a racy finish. While some appreciate its brightness, others may find the flavors too subtle.

The 2020 Horton Eclipse Red presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. On the nose, it unveils a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and a hint of forest floor, underscored by subtle oak-derived vanilla and spice. The palate is full-bodied, with velvety tannins providing a structured backbone to the rich, dark fruit core. A vibrant acidity enlivens the mid-palate, leading to a lingering finish with echoes of dark chocolate and earthy undertones. This wine exemplifies the Virginia terroir, offering both depth and elegance, and is a testament to meticulous winemaking craftsmanship.
