Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend 2022

"Odedi"

9.2

Yellow/golden in color.

Earthy nose with citrus, lemons, minerals, sea salt, yellow apples, spices, light earth, and light honey.

Medium-plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light honey, sea salt, herbs, oak, white pepper and spices.

Long finish with lemons and light herbs.

This is a delicious white Rhône blend from Paso Robles. Elegant and rich. Fruit-forward and well-balanced.

Good right out of the bottle and gets more complex as it opens up (20 minutes) in the glass.

Drinking beautifully already, at only 2 years old, and will continue to age nicely over the next 5 to 7 years.

Complex and crisp. Spicy and interesting.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 8% Picardan and 5% Bourboulenc.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

"Odedi"

9.1

LUNCH WINE

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, tobacco leaf, Indian spices and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, licorice, light earth, herbs, peppercorn, garrigue, dark chocolates and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very unique Rhone blend from Paso Robles. Has a Châteauneuf-du-Pape feel to it.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and interesting.

Very tasty and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter.

Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Has good potential to become a 93+ point wine.

I paired it with grilled Picanha.

A blend of 40% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarese, 3% Counoise and 3% Cinsault.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
