Eberle, Paso Robles (California) 2017

Sep 25, 2018

By Robert Whitley

  Winery founder Gary Eberle was the inspiration for much of the Rhone-centric activity in Paso Robles.  He planted the first Syrah grapes in the region and pursued development of other Rhone grape varieties with passion.  The Cotes-du-Robles Blanc is a typical white blend found in the southern Rhone Valley region of France, combining Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Roussanne.  The result is an oily white that shows notes of pear, apricot, citrus and honeysuckle, with excellent balance and length.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
