Tablas Creek Esprit Blanc de Tablas Paso Robles 2019 375ml

95 points James Suckling: "Aromas of peach, thyme and lilies. Medium-bodied with refreshing tannins. Bright acidity, but overall pleasant, mellow presence. Fresh stone fruit and jasmine on the palate. Well balanced with a soft finish. 63% roussanne, 20% grenache blanc, 14% picpoul blanc, 3% picardan. Drink or hold. (Nov 2021)"

94 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "This blend of 63% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul Blanc and 3% Picardan showcases what the winery does best. Aromas of blanched almond, candied honeydew and coconut lead into a palate that s moothly integrates chamomile, dried lemon and rich hazelnut flavors. (Nov 2021)"

Producer notes: "A lovely, creamy nose of wildflower honey, sweet baking spices, citrus pith, and briny minerality. The mouth is textured and dry, with both the richness and essence of egg custard, flavors of quince and pear, and a long finish with echoing honey, fresh vanilla bean, and limestone mineral notes. A powerful, textured Esprit Blanc that is drinking well now but which we expect will really shine with time in the cellar. Drink over the next two decades."
