In Mag. Young but approachable. Medium in body. Surprisingly restrained. Another 5 years easy. Bravo!

The Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, their importer since 1970, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard in 1990. They chose their 1600-foot elevation site in West Paso Robles' Las Tablas because of its chalky clay soils and its climate similar to the southern Rhone Valley. A blend of 40% Mourvedre, 28% Syrah, 22% Grenache &10% Counoise. Complex aromas with dried red fruits on the palate, spicy notes with sweet cacao. Smoky savory tannins, great balance on lingering finish. Give it a few years. Nice!

Using the rootstock from beaucastel. Quite organic farm. Pinot like. Savoury with light bitter. Raspberry. After breathing it becomes smoother and silky. Crushed stone.

This is still really young and tight. Dried berries. Slight spice. Medium bodied.
