Eberle Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon – Paso Robles

Eberle Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon – Paso Robles

Brand: Eberle Winery
Wine: Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Paso Robles, California
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Style: Medium-full bodied, classic Paso Robles Cabernet

It is the winery’s Vineyard Selection Cabernet, which is a separate bottling from the more expensive Estate Cabernet Sauvignon we just discussed. Eberle sources the Vineyard Selection from several vineyards throughout the Paso Robles AVA.

Ratings: Recent vintages have been remarkably consistent: 2021 – 91 Points & Editors’ Choice, Wine Enthusiast; 2022 – 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast; 2023 – 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast.

Description: A classic, food-friendly Paso Robles Cabernet with rich blackberry, cassis, plum and dark cherry flavors accented by graphite, pepper, cedar, cocoa and warm spice. It offers a nice balance between ripe California fruit and more savory Cabernet character, with structured tannins and refreshing acidity carrying through the finish.

Pairing Recommendation: Excellent with Prime Ribeye, Filet Mignon, NY Strip, Wagyu burgers, meatloaf or aged cheddar. For Midtown Provisions, I’d pair this one with a Prime Ribeye. Eberle has specifically recommended ribeye with earlier vintages, while its current Vineyard Selection Cabernet recommendations include filet mignon.

Serve: 60–65°F, with about 20–30 minutes of air.
