Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc 2024

$79.99
The Tablas Creek Vineyard 2024 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is our flagship white blend, chosen from the top lots of six white Rhône varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. Roussanne provides the core richness, minerality, and flavors of honey and spice, while Grenache Blanc adds green apple and anise flavors, lush mouthfeel and bright acids. Picpoul Blanc adds pineapple brightness and saline minerality, Bourboulenc provides limestoney, citrusy lift, Picardan brings a little burst of acid, with mineral notes, and Clairette Blanche finishes with clean fruitiness and chalky minerality.

The 2024 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is zesty and deeply spiced, with a burst of ginger and lime zest complicating mint-laced green apples and hints of sour melon. It is deeply textural, silken and pliant, with saline minerality to balance, as a decadent wave of ripe pit fruits swirls beneath an air of sweet inner herbal tones. It finishes lightly structured and long, leaving a honeyed floral resonance and a tinge of sour lemon to linger. The 2024 is already a glorious example of Esprit de Tablas Blanc, yet it has the balance to age effortlessly
