2020 Tablas Creek Côtes de Tablas, USA, California, Paso Robles, Adelaida District, Wine Review
This is a mid level offering from the vast portfolio of Tablas Creek. It is a blend of 43% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 19% Counoise, 5% Mourvedre and seems to be their counter-part to a high level Cotes du Rhone. Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is great with black cherries, black raspberries, black pepper, char, plums and spice. Full bodied. Medium to firm tannins. Lively acidity. On the palate, black cherries and black raspberries with some char and spice. Long finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another seven to ten years. Nice on its own, i
