While everyone else is picking superripe, Eberle prefers a high- acid, lower-fruit wine. This doesn’t have particular Roussanne character as it’s too dry and citrusy. But it’s a clean wine with a brisk mouthfeel.——S.H.(11/15/2006)—— 85

Almost dessert-like in apparent sweetness, but balanced with crisp acidity, this luscious wine is filled with honey, baked apple, peach, apricot and vanilla flavors. ——S.H.(11/15/2005)—— 86

Deliciously drinkable for its soft, creamy texture and juicy flavors of peaches and cream, exotic tropical fruits, vanilla and honey. This dry wine is great all by itself.——S.H.(12/15/2004)—— 87
