this is our recent go-to for steak night — it’s a healthy balance of earthy and fruity and is complicated but in a way that works well as a table wine. win-win! — 17 days ago

Tablas Creek is the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard in addition to Biodynamic Viticulture and the pioneer California Rhone’s movement in Paso Robles AVA, which has a pedigree and collaboration between the Haas family & Perrin’s from Cháteau Beaucastel in Rhône, France by the mid 80’s.

The V.2022 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is their flagship white blend of 33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 8% Picardan, and 5% Bourboulenc that were chosen from the top lots of 6 white Rhone varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate.

This is an incredibly complex white like no other; mineral-driven, savory, with a nice green sliced apple aromatic notes. On the palate, the mix of lemon and pineapple with some hint of salinity twist your tongue nicely. The overall mouthfeel combining the array of tropical fruits, herbs and the intense long, but not-overpowering finish makes it a top-notch white that differentiate from many produced in the Adelaida District in Paso. A truly winner! — 2 months ago

No sediment, so I popped and poured. Explosive nose has super-deep, pure spicy blackberry Zin fruit. Purity of fruit is a hallmark (in my experience) of Ridge’s Dusi Ranch cuvée. There’s also a bit of clove from the American oak, but it’s pretty subtle. Great intensity of flavor in the mouth, with a soft, enveloping texture. It’s big, at 14.8%, but it’s balanced. And keeping things under 15 in Paso is challenging. Terrific wine. Yummo. — 24 days ago
