RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

Wafting from the glass with notes of peach, anise and rose water...full-bodied, textural and layered, with lovely balance and a long, flavorful finish.

92Wine Spectator

Supple and elegant...a graceful mix of spiced poached pear, nectarine and dried mango notes, with hints of spice and dried honeysuckle. Harmonious and wonderfully juicy on the fresh finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Mineral-accented orange, honeydew melon and pear nectar on the highly perfumed nose, along with a hint of pungent flowers. Juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors show impressive clarity, and a touch of bitter quinine adds back-end cut. Shows impressive depth as well as delineation on the finish, which hangs on with strong, mineral-tinged persistence.

92James Suckling

A beautiful white with dried jasmine, orange peel, honeysuckle, white roses and loquat. Medium to full body and loads of freshness, suggested by the vibrant acidity. Love the fruit played out over the phenolic texture.

90.1CellarTracker

90Jeb Dunnuck

...offers slightly more richness and depth, with outstanding notes of white peach, spiced melon, and crushed citrus, with some exotic floral and spice notes emerging with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and beautifully pure...

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.
