Tablas Creek Vineyard
Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend



Bright floral aromatic and stone fruity. Too cold to show it’s true weight but seemed younger fresher and lighter on it heels than other vintages

[75% Roussanne, 18% Grenache Blanc, 7% Picpoul] Waxy, oily, viscous, floral aromas on this predominantly Roussanne blend, very tart acid balance (likely from the Picpoul), crisp, some fatness, comes across as very young and in need of further aging, lovely Central Coast Rhône blend!!

[75% Roussanne, 18% Grenache Blanc, and 7% Picpoul] Roussanne is ripe, rich and really dominant in this vintage, good acid, nice balance, fat, long, lingering finish, really outstanding!!

Very aromatic, showcasing a wide range of citrus and stone fruits, and even hint of tropical fruits such as ripe starfruit. The palate is a fine balance between richness and delicacy. Touch of crushed oyster shell on long finish. Very charming and classy.

Much more closed aromatically than the 2014, structured, but also very backward, the Roussanne tastes like a barrel sample, this will easily make old bones, needs 10+ more years of cellaring!!

Wow. I love this wine. Tastes sweet - cotton candy notes, but is dry. Low acidity.
