Lovely color. Deeper red/purple. Fun to smell. Smells like bag of licorice. Nice euro licorice. Bar-b-que. Balanced and tasty. Has a lot going on, but stays in the pocket. This is intriguing stuff. — 7 days ago

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. — a month ago

This was some great Grenache! In fact, this, to me, is just how a single-varietal bottling of this grape should taste. In spite of the moderate bottle age, there was a lot of freshness in it, and some great red fruit flavors as well. Very well done! 100% Grenache. 5/12/25. — a month ago

This was the first vintages of this exceptional blend and it is showing very well indeed. Syrah, Terret Noir, Grenache and a tiny bit of Roussanne (co-fermented with the Syrah) makes for a vibrant package of ripe black fruit - blackberry, black cherry, cedar, forest floor, and in the background some lifted strawberry and red currant from the Grenache. Lovely medium bodied wine with meat and game nuances on the gorgeous long finish. First rate. — 2 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. — 20 days ago

I tasted the 2024 Vermentino with my flight at Tablas Creek and bought a bottle to take home. Lovely fruity wine, very drinkable. I generally don’t like whites with strong minerality but found this one to be very palatable! — 3 months ago
