Tablas Creek is the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard in addition to Biodynamic Viticulture and the pioneer California Rhone’s movement in Paso Robles AVA, which has a pedigree and collaboration between the Haas family & Perrin’s from Cháteau Beaucastel in Rhône, France by the mid 80’s.
The V.2022 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is their flagship white blend of 33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 8% Picardan, and 5% Bourboulenc that were chosen from the top lots of 6 white Rhone varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate.
This is an incredibly complex white like no other; mineral-driven, savory, with a nice green sliced apple aromatic notes. On the palate, the mix of lemon and pineapple with some hint of salinity twist your tongue nicely. The overall mouthfeel combining the array of tropical fruits, herbs and the intense long, but not-overpowering finish makes it a top-notch white that differentiate from many produced in the Adelaida District in Paso. A truly winner! — 2 months ago

Went well with fondue. Sweet and balanced, crisp and clear like sipping on an apple. — 4 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. — a month ago
Very bright and refreshing with citrus and saline notes. Paired so lovely with Cajun shrimp and French fries. — 2 months ago
An abundantly crispy, well-textured citrus scented, and lemony zingy driven, palpable floral notes with hints of ripe Quincy pear. Bone dry, eminent acidity on the palate. Great summer wine that pairs exceptionally with seafood, veggies dishes with creamy sauce, or even raw fish like sashimi and sushi. Never disappoints! — 3 months ago
