2006 Joseph Phelps Eisrebe Late Harvest Scheurebe Napa (375ml)

(92 Points  --  Wine Enthusiast)

The name is a combination of eiswein and Scheurebe, the German variety. The grapes were artificially frozen. The wine is exceptionally sweet, with residual sugar of 21.5%, but balanced by crisp acidity, and the alcohol is amazingly low at 7.6%. Flavorwise, it's all about apricot preserves and vanilla. Hard to imagine anyone not liking this delicious dessert wine.   Issue Date  9/1/2007
