Tablas Creek Description

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas Blanc is a blend of seven white Rhône and Rhone-adjacent varieties: Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Vermentino, Roussanne, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc, with fruit from eight top Rhone vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like many white wines from the Southern Rhône, it is based on the crisp acids and rich mouthfeel of Grenache Blanc, with Viognier for floral, tropical aromatics and luscious stone fruit flavors, Roussanne and Marsanne for structure and spice, and additions of Vermentino, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc for brightness and texture.

A nose equally balanced between Grenache Blanc's mineral and citrus and Viognier's stone fruit and white flowers, with additional notes of petrichor and peppery spice. On the palate, luscious flavors of stone fruit and lemon custard lifted by persistent chalky minerality and vibrant acids. The long finish brings back notes of white grapefruit, jasmine, and a briny sea spray minerality.

The 2022 Patelin de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 49% Grenache Blanc, 22% Viognier, 10% Marsanne, 10% Vermentino, 4% Roussanne, 3% Picpoul and 2% Bourboulenc. It has ripe aromas of guava, honey and white pepper with savory undertones. The medium-bodied palate explodes with ripe, tropical fruit and spicy accents. It has bright acidity, and a gentle touch of texture extends the finish.

Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points

A delicate shade of yellow in the glass, this Grenache Blanc-led blend of seven white Rhône varieties is broad yet crisp on the nose, showing white flowers, Asian pear and jicama. The texture is both chalky and steely on the palate, where citrus spray and pome fruit flavors align.

James Suckling: 92 Points

Aromas of sliced apples, spiced citrus fruit, white peaches, savory herbs, white lilac and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, crisp and vivid with crunchy acidity coming through. Tense and lingering. A blend of 54% grenache blanc, 29% viognier, 9% marsanne, 7% roussanne and 1% bourboulenc. From biodynamically grown grapes.
