What Critics Think
Decanter : 94 Points
(7/31/2023) One of America's great wine blends from the first name in Rhone varietals Tablas Creek. This blend of Roussanne, Picpoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc and a dash of a few others is a seriously contemplative wine. Aromatics of candied ginger, honeycomb and ripe apricot mingle with a dash of petrichor and wet stone. The wine's texture and honeyed notes are balanced by savoury Mediterranean scrub, crushed chalk and lime leaf. Serious and seriously delicious.
Vinous : 94 Points
(5/2023) A dramatic display of dusty florals, lemon oils, melon and crushed almond waft up from the 2021 Esprit de Tablas Blanc. This is texturally thrilling with depths of ripe apple and sweet inner florals, all perfectly accentuated by zesty acidity. It finishes long and full of tension with a pleasant inner sweetness, lingering on young peach and mineral notes. Bury the 2021 in the cellar. It's a beauty. The Esprit de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc and 1% Clairette Blanche. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2031.
