Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas Blanc 2022
12.5% alcohol, cork, Paso Robles CA USA.

This was tasted on the Mattinson in California trail. It’s a blend of 33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 8% Picardan and 5% Bourboulenc.

Delicious mix of savouriness and fruitiness on the nose. Excellent weight and energy on the palate. Presence. Power. Refinement. Stones, flowers, citrus oils and stonefruits. Chalk. Gritty, grippy, minerally finish. Super. Amazing white wine. Gorgeously dry. Let me at it. Let me stay. 94 points.
