I tasted the 2024 Vermentino with my flight at Tablas Creek and bought a bottle to take home. Lovely fruity wine, very drinkable. I generally don’t like whites with strong minerality but found this one to be very palatable! — 3 months ago
Very good blend. Frankly did not expect too much from it but I am pleasantly impressed. — 6 months ago
Grenache/Mourvedre/Counoise/Vermentino blend from 10 different Paso Robles vineyards. — 8 months ago
A tasting of six aged white Rhônes, including 20 and 35-year-old Hermitages vs Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Blancs from Les Granits and a 19-year-old Esprit from Tablas Creek, Beaucastel's sister winery in Paso Robles, as well as one of the first great Viogniers to come out of California, the 2009 Calera Mount Harlan. The Tablas Creek held up well against these heavyweights, coming in second place. — a year ago
Thanksgiving Paso Robles trip second day first stop. Vintage 2021. Smells and tastes like a young Chardonnay with long malo and gently and subtly oaked. Gold in color. Pomaceous, yellow peach, yellow delicious apples. Creme fraiche, yogurt, cream cheese, medium minus acidity, medium plus finish. — 3 years ago
Reddish in color with medium intensity.
Red fruits on the nose with light wood and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, earth, coffee and peppercorn.
Spicy on the long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a really young Rhone style red blend from Paso Robles. Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and tangy.
Good right out of the bottle and better with after 90 minutes of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Well balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 40% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarese, 3% Counoise and 3% Cinsault.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Thanks to @Eli Barton dot this recommendation. Enjoyed it thoroughly. — 3 years ago
This was the first vintages of this exceptional blend and it is showing very well indeed. Syrah, Terret Noir, Grenache and a tiny bit of Roussanne (co-fermented with the Syrah) makes for a vibrant package of ripe black fruit - blackberry, black cherry, cedar, forest floor, and in the background some lifted strawberry and red currant from the Grenache. Lovely medium bodied wine with meat and game nuances on the gorgeous long finish. First rate. — 3 months ago
Light lime and pear with wet stone and a touch of salt. — 4 months ago
Not sure if it was worth the wait but it was awesome!!! — 5 months ago
The grapes are exclusively from head-trained (En Gobelet) dry-farmed blocks of the estate vineyard.
The ‘21 really showcases the freshness of the fruits with raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry scented with fresh herbs and light warm spices. Juicy and a bit crunchy palate. Very good concentration and purity. Lovely. — 7 months ago
This is a stunning white showing surprisingly rich evolution: lemon and candied lemon, acacia, honeysuckle, wet stone, sage, green apple, dried apple, white peach, lime, lime zest, fennel and anise. It’s held up very well for six years, with vibrant acidity and rich, creamy texture. Very long finish — 2 years ago
Bright green-gold in the glass…lemon, pineapple, yuzu notes with a hint of green grass with lively acidity. Serious weight, nicely dry, touch of bitter grip on the finish. Tablas whites make wonderful dinner companions. Very nice foil for good Greek takeout of pasticcio, simple chicken kebabs, and skordelia. Opah! — 3 years ago

On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry and ripe strawberry with notes of citrus, herb tea and tobacco.
