Mattinson review of Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas Rosé 2024.

Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas Rosé 2024
13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Paso Robles USA.

Rosé made with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Vermentino grapes. Dry-grown, farmed biodynamically. This is a textural rosé, dry, akin to crunching into apples and white-red strawberries and just-ripe peaches. It’s light – or frisky is probably a better word – but the texture here gives the wine’s presence a boost, as does the grippy, smoky, stony feel to the finish. I tasted this at the winery and again later that day and in both instances it seemed tip top for quality. 94 points.

You can buy this in 3 litre cask for $95. Which is four bottles of great rose. In weight terms that’s 3.7kg for the box, versus 5 kg for the four bottle equivalent. That’s a great environmental saving for the bag-in-box version.
