"The 2018 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 66% Roussanne, 21% Grenache Blanc, 8% Picpoul Blanc, 3% Picardan and 2% Clairette Blanche aged in about 20% new French oak. The nose begins with soft floral perfume over hints of tree fruit, flint and beeswax. The light to medium-bodied palate is bright and juicy with an anchoring touch of texture on the uplifted finish. 2,400 cases produced." (wa). "Pale yellow. A complex, mineral-accented bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, buttered toast and pungent flowers, and a fennel nuance emerges with air. Shows impressive depth and clarity, offering intense orange, pear nectar, sweet butter and chamomile flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Powerful yet graceful in style, displaying sharp focus and minerally lift on a long, penetrating finish that features lingering floral and orchard fruit notes." (vm). "The flagship white is the 2018 Esprit de Tablas Blanc, which checks in as 66% Roussanne, 21% Grenache Blanc, 8% Picpoul Blanc, and tiny amounts of Picardan and Clairette Blanche. Light gold-colored, with notes of mulled pears, lemon curd, white flowers, and spice, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, terrific elegance and purity, no hard edges, and a solid finish." (jd). Winery Notes:. A lifted nose of orange blossom, honeycomb, and spicy pine nut. On the palate, the signature clean, precise elegance of the 2018 vintage, with flavors of baked custard, marmalade, and saline minerality, deepened by a little sweet oak. Then lively and juicy on the finish like biting into a fresh pear, complete with the little hint of pear skin tannin. A balanced, elegant Esprit Blanc that we expect to go out two decades, gaining additional nuttiness and complexity with time in bottle. |
