EOS 2006 Tears of Dew Late Harvest Moscato (Paso Robles)
-
$22
With 21% residual sugar, this is an enormously sweet wine, one of the most honeyed of the vintage. A little sugar goes a long way, of course, but this wine also charms with rich, powerful apricot, peach and vanilla custard flavors, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity. With consistently high scores over the years, Tears of Dew has taken a place in the front ranks…

Tears of Dew has established itself as one of the leading white dessert wines in California, and the ’05 is nobly in that tradition, although it’s not quite up to the astonishing opulence of ’04. Very sweet and well acidified, it has delicious apricot liqueur, orange marmalade and vanilla cream flavors and a long, complex finish. Just gorgeous.

Seductively delicious, an unctuously thick wine that opens with decadent aromas of apricot jam, sweet fig, tangerine, vanilla and meringue. Feels oily-rich on the palate, with sweet flavors and crisp acids and a clean, honeyed finish.

-
$40
With this thick, dark wine, the folks from EOS have pumped up the volume. It’s super soft and supple, with velvety tannins and lots of black cherry, coffee, chocolate, herb, spice, vanilla, toast and earth flavors. The wine also has some high-toned qualities that bright up on the finish.
