Chateau Elan Winery, American (United States) 2013

Jun 4, 2015

By Rich Cook

Yes, there is great wine being made in Georgia, and it’s not just at Frogtown Cellars any more.  Here’s a spot on Tempranillo that’s got beautiful earthy spice over soft blackberry and black cherry fruit and proper American oak tones with age-worthy acidity to boot.  This would easily surprise tasters in a blind flight of Rioja.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition
