Region: Paso Robles, California

Vintage: 2017

Composition: 100% Grenache Blanc

History: The Tablas Creek Vineyard label debuted with the construction of the estate winery for the 1997 vintage. Tablas Creek Vineyard follows the centuries-old Châteauneuf-du-Pape tradition of blending, to produce wines that balance richness and elegance, while ensuring complexity, freshness, and minerality. Winemaking techniques, including dry farming, native yeast fermentation, and the use of large, neutral French oak foudres for aging allow our wines to reflect authentically the grapes, place and vintage from which they come.

Tasting Notes:

“An intense Grenache Blanc nose of lemon curd, sarsaparilla, and briny mineral. On the palate, like a lemon meringue pie with the hint of graham cracker underlying the bright, luscious lemon. The finish is lovely and long, with creamy texture, notes of lemongrass and crushed rock, and a little pithy Grenache Blanc tannin coming out at the end. Drink now and over the next few years.” – Winemaker
