Tablas Creek Vineyard Paso Robles Roussanne is an exquisite white wine from California's Paso Robles region. Being a varietal wine entirely from Roussanne grapes, it's distinctively rich and plush with a seductive profile. It carries alluring aromas of honeysuckle, pear and peach that are echoed on the palate accompanied by delicate undertones of honeysuckle, marzipan, and a touch of lemon zest for complexity. Its full-bodied texture and minerality, balanced with vibrant acidity, underline the excellent craftsmanship in winemaking. This wine is a delightful expression of the vintners' passion, reflecting finesse and elegance in every sip.

Tasting Notes

A powerful nose of lacquered wood, new honey, dried orange peel, cardamom, and aromatic bitters. The palate is classic, with flavors of caramel and ripe pear, a little sweet oak, and a little bit of tannic bite that cleans the wine up on the long finish. The wine has only been in bottle for a few months, but it's already drinking well. Drink in the next 3 or 4 years for a more luscious, fruit-driven experience, or hold it for 8-15 years for a flavor profile of caramel, wet rocks, and hazelnut.
