Tablas Creek Roussanne Paso Robles 2023

92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2023 Roussanne has gained lovely depth over the past year, as dried apricots and ginger combine with a whiff of confectionary spice. Energetic and fresh, it shows a building richness that soothes the soul as an air of vanilla custard swirls and ripe pit fruit envelop the senses. A hint of sour citrus mingles with salty mineral tones as the 2023 tapers off with excellent length and a slight butterscotch resonance. Drink 2025-2028 (Jun 2025)"

(91-93) points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "Tasted as a finished blend, the 2023 Roussanne is ripe and concentrated on the nose, with aromas of preserved peach, almond skin, Brazil nut and white flowers. The palate continues this powerful nature with a weighty, dense, round texture lined with subtle salinity. The finish is long and layered, with more opulence and length than the comparatively energetic Marsanne bottling. (Sep 2024)"
