Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas 2011
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe familiar Esprit de Beaucastel was remained Esprit de Tablas with the 2011 vintage, the winery's flagship wine reflecting their Paso Robles home rather than their sister property in France's Rhone Valley. The 2011 is a structured, spicy blend of mourvèdre, grenache, syrah and counoise, completing this mineral-dominant savoury red. Strawberry jam, ripe dark cherry and peppery spice carry to a fresh palate and are met with worn leather, earth, cured meat and wild herbs. The cool 2011 vintage gives this a welcome leanness and elegance, and I predict that it will continue to impress for the next decade and I look forward to tasting again. Enjoy now with grilled sausages, pork or lamb chop.Tasted: 17 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $70.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
