    The Tablas Creek Vineyard 2021 Esprit Blanc de Tablas is a masterpiece in white wine craftsmanship. This flagship blend, expertly curated by winemaker Neil Collins, showcases the true essence of the Rhone Valley in California.

    In the glass, it unveils a brilliant, medium gold/green color, setting the stage for a sensory journey. The bouquet is nothing short of enchanting, with intense aromatics of pear, apricot stone, honeysuckle, slate, orange peel, and hints of brioche.

    On the palate, this wine shines with a vibrant yet lush texture. Ripe orchard and tropical fruit flavors dominate, including white peach, kiwi, and passion fruit. The finish is nothing short of remarkable, leaving a lingering impression with bright citrus accents.

    This blend is a harmonious marriage of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc, and 1% Clairette Blanche. It showcases the art of blending, balancing richness and elegance to perfection.

    Wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike will appreciate its versatility. While immensely charming in its youth, it promises to age gracefully over the next two decades.

    Wine Enthusiast
    As the importer of so many Rhône varieties, it's no surprise that Tablas Creek manages blends like few other domestic producers. This combination of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache, 2% Bourboulenc and 1% Clairette Blanche shows clean nectarine and apricot aromas on the nose, with a light nuttiness. The palate's chalky texture offers creamy flavors of cashew milk and apple blossoms.

    The nose opens slowly, blossoming to baked apples, lemon peel, white pepper and coriander seed, with youthful streaks of sweet spice from a small percentage of Roussanne aging in new oak. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated yet detailed flavors, mouthwatering acidity and a touch of textural bitterness that anchors its youthful energy and extends the finish. It's shaping up to be a dynamic wine and 1,610 cases will be released in the fall of 2023

    Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of pear and apricot stone with supporting notes of honeysuckle, slate, orange peel, and hints of brioche. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe orchard and tropical fruits-driven core with flavors of white peach, kiwi, and passion fruit. The finish is long and lingering with bright citrus accents. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant yet lush texture. Made with a blend of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc, and 1% Clairette Blanche

    Decanter
    One of America's great wine blends from the first name in Rhône varietals Tablas Creek. This blend of Roussanne, Picpoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc and a dash of a few others is a seriously contemplative wine. Aromatics of candied ginger, honeycomb and ripe apricot mingle with a dash of petrichor and wet stone. The wine's texture and honeyed notes are balanced by savoury Mediterranean scrub, crushed chalk and lime leaf. Serious and seriously delicious.

    The world-class 2021 Tablas Creek ‘Espirit Blanc de Tablas’ White Wine combines 70% Roussanne with 17% Picpoul and the remainder Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Clairette. This new edition will easily go head to head with some of the finest examples of Chateauneuf Blanc. Seamless throughout the drinking experience this shows off a pillowy texture, yielding layers of cantaloupe, salted Macadamia nut, lychee and shades of white rose water. This shows a beautiful combination of stuffing and underlying finesse, as the 2021 ‘Espirit Blanc de Tablas’ really needs 30-40 minutes of air prior to consuming now. Don’t serve too cold! Drink 2023-2037

    A dramatic display of dusty florals, lemon oils, melon and crushed almond waft up from the 2021 Esprit de Tablas Blanc. This is texturally thrilling with depths of ripe apple and sweet inner florals, all perfectly accentuated by zesty acidity. It finishes long and full of tension with a pleasant inner sweetness, lingering on young peach and mineral notes. Bury the 2021 in the cellar. It’s a beauty. The Esprit de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc and 1% Clairette Blanche.
