The Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas is a blend of four estate-grown Rhône varietals: Grenache, Syrah, Counoise and Mourvedre. Like most wines of the Southern Rhône, it showcases Grenache, featuring that grape's characteristic generous fruit and refreshing acidity, balanced by the spice and mineral of Syrah, the appealing briary wildness of Counoise and the structure of Mourvèdre.

TASTING NOTES

A serious nose of brambly spice, red apple skin, wild grape jelly, and bay. The palate is poised evenly between savory and sweeter elements, with plum skin and cola deepened by dried herbs and cocoa powder. A little chalky minerality comes out along with some fairly substantial tannins on the finish. This will be delicious young, with excellent complexity for this bottling, but should also age gracefully a decade or more.

Shimmering ruby. Cherry, black raspberry and floral qualities on the expressive, spice-accented nose. Shows excellent clarity and thrust to the sweet red and dark berry, spicecake and cola flavors, which spread out steadily through the back half. Supple, even tannins emerge slowly and add gentle grip to a long, spicy finish that strongly echoes the red fruit notes.
