Vintage Cellar Review: 88 points Robert Parker.  An Eric Solomon custom cuvee, the 2012 Evodia is 100% Grenache from a vineyard planted at more than 2,00 feet in pure decomposed slate soils.  Some of the Grenache vines are over feet in pure decomposed slate soils.  Some of the Grenache vines are over 100 years of age.  The wine exhibits good, density, plenty of richness, not the complexity or ethereal qualities of several of his other custom cuvees, but beautiful fruit, a luscious texture and hedonistic mouthfeel as well as finish.  Enjoy this remarkable value over the next 2-3 years.  

My Review: I also really liked this tasting.  I smelled notes of cherry.  The finish was peppery, green pepper, and spice.  Little tannins and heat, not very complex but good.  I did not taste this with food.
