Tablas Creek Vineyard
Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc Paso Robles Roussanne Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
With this much age this is a really fun bottle! Nose has baked stone fruit and tons of hazelnut with a hint of dried citrus peel. Palate is lively and rich with amaretto, bananas foster, peach crumble, and lemon custard. Fantastic.

I don't think people realize the aging potential of this wine. Poached pear, toasted hazelnut, and some saline notes complete the nose. Weighty mouthfeel but not overbearing whatsoever. Sublte acidity rounds out the long mouth-coating finish. Oh god, and this is out of a 375ml. Would put this against any other California white that's ten years old.

Drinking really well. Great fragrance and mouthfeel. Peaches and tropical fruits. Kept opening up in the glass throughout the evening. Very well made.

Wow! Lots of layers of honey and tropical fruit with a hint of candied lemon. Amazing with grilled halibut with a lemon butter sauce!
