Tablas Creek Vineyard

What can I say - amazing. This winery is worth a tour, certified organic and Rhone varietal focused.

Definitely a standard bearer for New World Rhone-style whites. This wine shows tropical fruits, pickled ginger, green tea and five spice plus a great undertone of minerality I often miss in California whites.

Nose of creamy fruit and milk chocolate. Balanced, well-integrated, smoky, with deep rich ripe neither sour nor sweet fruit (cherry, berry, and a bit of plum), leather, earth, and hint of mineral. Finishes of deep fruit with a hint of herbs and earth...

Very nice, smooth Paso Robles blend of 52% Syrah, 29% Grenache, 18% Mourvedre, 1% Counoise. Well balanced with nice dark cherry, plum, slight smoke, smooth tannins and clean, crisp acidity.
