2017 Tablas Creek Vineyard, Esprit de Tablas Rouge
£52.00
40% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 5% Counoise
“Brilliant violet. Ripe red/blue fruits, potpourri, incense and baking spices on the deeply perfumed, expansive nose. Coats the palate with sweet boysenberry, black raspberry and floral pastille flavors sharpened by building mineral and white pepper flourishes. Shows the richness of the vintage but comes off lively and delivers strong floral thrust on an extremely long, gently tannic finish.”

Product Description
Tablas Creek was founded in 1987 by the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel, and the Haas family, owners of the US importer Vineyard Brands. After many years travelling across the United States together to promote the Perrin wines, Robert Haas and Jacques Perrin agreed that California’s climate was ideally suited to the Rhône’s native grape varieties and decided to establish their own winery.
The Esprit de Tablas is produced from 100% estate grown fruit. Located twelve miles from the Pacific Ocean and with an average altitude of 450 metres above sea level, the estate’s hot and sunny days are tempered by cool nights, resulting in fully ripe grapes with fresh acidity. The site is dry-farmed, and certified organic and biodynamic. Its shallow, rocky and limestone-rich soils are based on the same geologic origins as the Beaucastel vineyards and the estate vineyard was planted with cuttings imported from the Beaucastel estate.
