The V.2022 Esprit de Tablas is the flagship red blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarèse, 3% Cinsaut and 3% Counoise selected from the top 6-estate-grown varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel Estate in Rhône, France.
An absolute crowd-pleaser in all aspects; the nose welcomes aromatic dark red fruits, black forrest, earthy and spices. As for the palate, it is rich and bold, yet fruit-forward slightly juicy with a hint of licorice, minty and lushy. Great acidity and structure with progressive tannins towards the back-end. Loved the texture and some sweet spices by the very end. — 3 months ago
Great pairing for tinned fish and roasted pork belly cured with Chinese 5 spice! For the alcohol as high as it is, it really has some amazing acidity and it’s light on its feet, with a tart nose of kiwi, Meyer lemon and maybe mango? Palate is citrus driven and lithe, with lemon pith, almost merengue, with that slight sweetness, but nice minerality and mouthfeel. — 2 months ago

This was some great Grenache! In fact, this, to me, is just how a single-varietal bottling of this grape should taste. In spite of the moderate bottle age, there was a lot of freshness in it, and some great red fruit flavors as well. Very well done! 100% Grenache. 5/12/25. — 3 months ago
