RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

Ripe red/blue fruits, potpourri, incense and baking spices on the deeply perfumed, expansive nose. Coats the palate with sweet boysenberry, black raspberry and floral pastille flavors sharpened by building mineral and white pepper flourishes. Shows the richness of the vintage but comes off lively and delivers strong floral thrust on an extremely long, gently tannic finish.

94The Wine Advocate

...pretty aromas of tangerines, blueberries, tea leaves, tar and forest floor with loads of floral perfume. Medium-bodied, it's concentrated and layered but delicately framed, and it finishes long with just enough freshness.

94Wine Enthusiast

A plum aroma meshes into cola, rose and hibiscus tones on the nose... The tense palate delivers engaging flavors of purple flowers and elderberry as black pepper and bright acidity pumps into the finish.

93Wine Spectator

Personality meets refinement, with expressive black raspberry, smoky garrigue and stony white pepper notes that build richness and complexity toward polished tannins.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...notes of blackberries, smoked meats, spring flowers, and orange blossom, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, an elegant, rounded textured, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It shows the more elegant style of this estate nicely...

PRODUCER

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Tablas Creek s a 120-acre estate in Paso Robles, on California’s Central Coast. It was established in 1985 when long-time wine importer Robert Haas and the Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel in the Rhone Valley decided to make wine together on the Central Coast. The friends purchased land in 1989 in the Las Tablas district of west Paso Robles because it resembled the land the Perrins own in France. Traditional Rhone Valley grape varietals were imported and the debut vintage was in 1997. The estate’s signature wines are the Esprit de Tablas, which prior to the 2011 vintage were called Esprit de Beaucastel. The estate makes a red and white, and both are Rhone-style blends. Tablas Creek wines are consistently well-rated, and Robert M. Parker Jr. has often rated them in the mid- to high-90s.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles

Paso Robles AVA is midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it is considered one of the West Coast’s most exciting winemaking regions. With its hot, sometimes searingly dry and sunny weather, it is especially good country for growing warm climate grapes such as Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Because many Paso Robles wineries have been successful with blending these grapes into Rhone Valley-style wines, it is known as the Rhone zone of California. The AVA was created in 1983 and there are 32,000 vineyard acres. In late 2014 the AVA was divided into 11 smaller sub-appellations, so starting with 2015 vintages labeling will become more specific on Paso Robles wines, which will now also list sub-appellations. Located in San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles, the town and its surrounding area, was traditionally a farming and ranching region. But from a few dozen wineries in the early 1990s to more than 200 today, the area is quickly becoming known for wine and risk-taking winemakers.
