Tablas Creek Proprietary White "ESPRIT De Tablas BLANC" Paso Robles 375mL
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Tablas Creek was founded by the Perrin family of Chteau de Beaucastel and their importer, Robert Haas. The goal was to produce California's best examples of southern Rhne varietals and Chateauneuf-du-Pape style blends. The partners chose a 120-acre property in the hills of westside Paso Robles for its similarities to Chateauneuf-du-Pape: limestone soils, favorable climate, and rugged terrain. Tablas Creek emphasizes dry farming (no watering) to seek maximum expression from their grapes, and they farm organically. Their signature white is named Esprit de Tablas, and is modeled after the Beaucastel wines from the Rhone Valley. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94-96 Points - "The 2020 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is a barrel sample of 46% Roussanne, 28% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul, 5% Bourboulenc, 4% Clairette Blanche and 3% Picardin. Proprietor Jason Haas says this is the first time all six Chteauneuf-du-Pape varieties have been included in this blend. It has alluring aromas of lime peel, spring honey and crushed hazelnuts, a touch aromatically shy at this youthful stage. The palate is broad and satiny, expansive and perfumed, with juicy acidity and a very long finish. It's a promising barrel sample, and 1,880 cases are projected once it is bottled in early 2022." |
