tasting notes
The Patelin de Tablas Blanc
is intensely Rhone-like on the nose, with notes of nectarines,
pineapple, jasmine, and sweet spice. In the mouth, it's electric with
passion fruit, peach pit, and lime zest flavors, saline and crushed
rock on the mid-palate, with mouth-watering acidity softening into
creamy richness on the finish, leaving lingering flavors of sweet
spice. Drink now and for the next 2-3 years.
winemaker's insight
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas Blanc is a blend of
five white Rhône varietals: Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne,
Marsanne and Clairette Blanche. The wine incorporates fruit from
nine top Rhone vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected
for its quality. Like many white wines from the Southern Rhône,
it is based on the crisp acids and rich mouthfeel of Grenache
Blanc, with Viognier added for floral, tropical aromatics, and
small additions of Roussanne and Marsanne for structure.
