Well, what do you know, three days of posting in a row! I thought it was a good idea to open another one of my mistakenly free bottles of wine, this time it's the 2023 Eberle Côtes du Rôbles. This wine is a blend of Grenache (58%), Mourvèdre (34%) and Syrah (8%) all harvested from Paso Robles, California. So, let's see how this wine is tasting!
The wine is a deep ruby color in the glass, with a seemingly heavier body than you might expect from a GSM blend. A gentle swirl of the glass reveals enticing aromas of strawberry, rose petals and green grass that will have you fully engaged. The first sip is an unexpected rush of sweet ripe fruit, cherry, strawberry and a hint of raspberry that easily transition to some earthy notes of tar and espresso midpalate. The tannins are somewhat subdued, providing for a pleasant dry finish, with a bit of acidity at the end.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, as it's a pleasant and easy drinking Rhône-style blend that would pair well with a variety of dishes, from fish to tacos, barbecue to grilled lamb chops. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with a pan seared salmon filet, steamed rice and sugar snap peas, as I sip this wine for the remainder of my Monday evening. Cheers!
