2021 Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas, USA, California, Paso Robles, Wine Review

Such a great value! This is a blend of 43% Syrah, 28% Grenache, 23% Mourvedre, and 6% Counoise. This is garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, black cherries, roasted meats and earthiness. Medium to full bodied. Light tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is drinking quite well. Varietal complexity with an excellent texture. Flavors of black raspberries, black cherries and some plums. Nice finish. This is drinking well and would be an excellent choice for a weekday meal be it pizza, meatloaf or veggie wraps. Drink over the next seven to ten years.

This is always a great value. it is a blend of 37% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 23% Mourvedre, and 3% Counoise. Tablas Creek sells vines and then sources back some of the grapes from those vineyards to make this wine. Brilliant and what a way to be a good neighbor. The eight vineyards are listed on the label (plus 4% of Tablas Creek grapes). Screw capped. Garnet in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is warm with dust, cherries and an anise (black licorice) note. Nice texture. On the palate, the cherries and anise come thru. Some depth. Nice finish. This drinks well but would be ev

This is the Tablas Creek version of a Chateauneuf du Pape. It is a blend of 46% Mourvedre, 31% Syrah, 18% Grenache, and 5% Counoise grapes. At age 5 from vintage, this is drinking great already. The nose has plums, black cherries, spice with a touch of funk. Full bodied with a great texture. Red and purple fruits; black cherries, cherries and boysenberries with a nice underlying minerality. Nice finish. This is still young and should develop more over the next five years or so, and drink well for ten more after that. It drinks great on its own and would work well with roasted meats

This is blend of 46% Mourvedre, 31% Syrah, 18% Grenache, and 5% Counoise grapes. Tasted from a 375ml bottle. In a full bottle, these will age wonderfully. In this format, they should still age well, but this was a great chance to check in on the wine. Deep ruby in color. The nose has plums, black raspberries, black cherries, spice and char. On the palate, this has a lovely texture. Energetic. Medium tannins. Right now, the black cherries dominate but that will change as it ages. Delicious. Good finish. This should be versatile with food and go well with fowl or meat dishes and r
