EBERLE
WINERY
Gary
Eberle of Eberle Vineyards, has a somewhat similar story to Bianchi
Vineyards. In 1973, he started out working for Estrella River
Winery (now Meridian Vineyards) where they produced 500,000 cases
of wine a year. By 1982, he was ready to start up his own winery,
focusing in on smaller lots and higher quality. With three different
vineyards, in three distinct growing conditions, Eberle can nurture
a wide variety of varietals and is determined to make quality
wine from all of them. Producing over 12 different varietals in
small lots of 5 ñ 10 tons each, Eberle was able to capture
the growing conditions necessary to producing exquisite cabs,
chardonnays, syrahs and zins but even more interesting, he was
able to capture the diverse conditions needed for sanviovese,
and then again, for viogner and other Rhone varietals. Garyís
commitment to quality means that only 30,000 cases come out of
the winery each year, with their flagship wines being available
throughout the United States, and their smaller lot production
wines being available in the wine tasting room only. To expand
the volume of the winery, the grapes would have to be grown off
site, and he, along with winemaker Ben Mayo, would quit before
that occurred. He would never give up his vision of high quality
wines.
One
area in which he continues to expand, is his visitor center, where
a beautiful tasting room overlooks the winery, and a 16,000 square
foot wine cave lives underground to properly age their exquisite
wines, and serves as host to their monthly wine maker dinners
that continue to book up

2006
Zinfandel, Steinbeck-Wine Bush
/ Paso Robles
A deep, jammy nose with a fruit forward palate and exceptional
color take away your breath on this first sip. Ripe
blackberries, tart cherries, prunes, and a peppery finish
unfold into a complex finish with hints of floral surrounded
by an absorbing mineral and earthy edge. Well balanced
and elegant, trust this wine to work with your carefully
and lovingly prepared main dishes with rich sauces.
We paired with barbecued ribs slow smoked in a whisky
sauce for 8 hours, but Beef Wellington will work also.

2007
Estate Chardonnay
/ Paso Robles
A beautiful golden hue greets the eye, as the dense
fruit flavors make for an aroma worthy of lingering.
A tart first sip greets the palate and quickly unfolds
into a flow of pear, apples, pineapple and green apple,
rounded out by a touch of vanilla and caramel. Very
well balanced, offering the perfect accompaniment to
barbecued chicken, raw oysters, spicy food and pasta
alfredo with freshly steamed clams.

2006
Barbera / Paso Robles
A beautiful deep ruby red edged with light garnet hues
greets the eye and invites your senses to relax, and
take that first sip. This is an elegant wine, that takes
you back to its Italian roots. The sweet grassy profile
of Piemonte is captured here in the Steinbeck section
of the Eberle winery, offering a smooth palate with
soft tannins and well balanced, but bright acidity.
Ripe raspberry, cherry, blackberries with truffles and
other earthy notes make a warm, lingering, fruitful
finish worthy of this wineryís creation. Pair
with barbecued quail and an Asian slaw. Only 928 cases
produced.

Mill Road Viognier
/ Paso Robles
A dense floral bouquet of honeysuckle and apricot with
gentle edges of melon, peach and ripe figs.†A
long, dry finish with lingering spicy notes. Perfect
for a spicy Thai or Chinese dish, or a very drinkable
wine all by itself as the warm summer days become a
prelude to the cooling fall days to come.

2007
Syrah Rosè / Paso Robles
Dense fruit flavor greets the nose with bright strawberry,
green apple and raspberry flavors. A full flavored,
dry rose with bright acidities and a neutral oak finish.
This is a light wine that drinks like a red, and should
be paired with gently spiced dishes to bring out the
unique characteristics of the wine. We paired with barbecued
turkey, and a savory corn, heirloom tomato, fresh pea
and basil salsa. Mmmmm. Only 628 cases produced.

2005
Syrah
/ Paso Robles - Steinbeck Vineyard
The traditional flavors of the syrah grape are captured
here, with the deep, elegant dark fruit hue that only
ripe black berries, cherries and even blue berries create.
Itís depth and complex bold structure greets
the palate with a beautiful crisp nose of rich fruity
berry, ripe plums and freshly cracked pepper. Smooth
on the palate with fruity hints and a subtle tart finish
and tight, subtle tannins. Grown and harvested from
the Steinbeck vineyard lot, this wine is the careful
creation of a beautiful wine aged in both American and
French oak barrels. A rhone style syrah with the structure
to age well in the cellar. Buy one for now, one for
the cellar, this is a wonderful wine.Bring it out with
that wonderful holiday fare that fills the table and
is part of the memory. Fifteen hundred cases made. GREAT

Cotes-du-Rùbles
/ Paso Robles
A luscious, deep purple hue and an intense, deeply packed
fruit forward aroma of dark berries, cherries and earthy
minerals make this classic Cotes du Robles a noteworthy
addition to the Eberle Winery. Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenach
and Viognier, all separately harvested in small lots
throughout 4 different vineyard lots, were carefully
nurtured to bring you one of Eberleís signature
wines. Complex layers of rich fruit flavors with notes
of mushrooms, truffles, leather, cigar box, with an
oaky finish and hints of vanilla. An easy to pair wine,
will go well with that Sunday sit down meal with friends
around the table and plenty of laughter.

Estate Muscat Canelli
/ Paso Robles
This estate grown Muscat Canelli is a beautiful, light
golden color with intense floral aromas of orange blossoms,
honey suckle, and sweet melons. Citrus tones blend well
with orchard inspired sweetness, offering a well balanced
dessert wine low in alcohol content. Easy to drink,
this well crafted wine offers a crisp, long finish,
making this the perfect wine to serve after dinner with
cheese cake, crËme brule, soft cheeses, or a chocolate
cake. A staple of the Eberle Winery, 1500 cases produced.
