Situated in California's famed Paso Robles region, Tablas Creek Vineyard offers a striking Mourvèdre wine. Lovingly handcrafted from organically grown estate fruit, this wine radiates a rustic, yet refined allure. It boasts a vibrant, dark fruit profile, underscored by spiced plum, blackberry and earthy undertones. It showcases complexity on a robust, full-bodied palate, embraced by firm tannins and a bright acidity leading to a persistent finish. Ageing in French oak lends subtle hint of vanilla, smoke, and whispers of cedar. A true gem amongst red wines, it's perfect for those seeking an elegant, organic and traditionally inspired wine experience.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant spicy, brambly nose of boysenberry, plum, licorice, and a little new leather. The mouth is substantial without being heavy, with flavors of red currant, loam, and meat drippings that we expect only to become more pronounced with some time in bottle. The finish shows sweet spices and dusty tannins that suggest some time in the cellar will be well rewarded. Drink any time over the next 15 years.
