Esprit de Tablas Adelaida District Mourvedre Blend 2022
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. — 5 months ago

Patelin de Tablas Paso Robles Rosé Grenache Blend 2024
This is a rosé blend of 68% Granache, 28% Mourvèdre, 3% Vermentino, and 1% Counoise, that delivers a full tradition of Provence with a fruit sourced from the 9 top Tablas Creek Rhône-styled vineyards in Paso Robles AVA. It provides a bright strawberry fruit, a hint of rose petals and lemongrass notes on the nose.
As for the palate, it gets stimulated with an amazing fresh acidity all combined with some soft spices, mandarin peel, fresh apricot, and unripe berries. The mouthfeel has a subtle peachy tones on the mid-range and grapefruit with some light salinity by the back-end. Joyful wine to welcome summer! — 5 months ago

[44% Mourvèdre, 43% Grenache, 9% Counoise, 4% Cinsaut] Tavel-style medium-dark salmon color Rose that I look forward to trying every year, very French-like with the Mourvèdre really showing, the Grenache adds some very nice round redfruits, the Counoise and Cinsault really lifting the acid and the wine, quite a full-bodied rose, longish finish, as always, very, very good!! — 17 days ago
