Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Rouge, Paso Robles

The 2021 Patelin de Tablas has a nose of blackberries and iron, with both red and black licorice notes pointing to the interplay between redder-fruited grapes like Grenache and Mourvedre and the blackerfruited character of Syrah. On the palate, tangy black raspberry and black cherry fruit, with additional notes of baker’s chocolate and a graphite-like minerality. Mouth-filling, long, and complex. Drink over the next decade.

Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Rouge, Paso Robles 2023	92 Vinous A delicate blend of wet stones, violets and crushed blackberries introduces the 2023 Patelin de Tablas. Juicy and round, it sweeps across the palate with lavender-laced wild berry fruits and tactile mineral tones. Slightly grippy yet zesty and fresh, the 2023 leaves the palate salivating as nuances of tart cherry fade. This is lovely juice and an incredible value as well. 92 Decanter The Patelin de Tablas serves as a portrait of the greater Paso Robles AVA year after year. It shows the region’s ability, even if other producers may not follow suit, to produce a ripe, redolent wine at under 14% abv—aromatics of smoky rose petals, spicy chicory root and a blend of peppercorns. The palate is densely fruited while remaining light on its feet. Dark blackberries, fig and plum fruits are lifted by savoury dry herbs, crushed stone minerality and a lift of five spices. 93 James Suckling The nose is perfumed and lifted with hints of raspberries, coffee beans and rosemary. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, with chalky tannins, bright acidity and notes of blood plums, cherries and earth. Generous and bright, with a savory edge. Made from a blend of 45% syrah, 30% grenache, 23% mourvedre and 2% counoise. Drink or hold. 93 Wine Enthusiast There’s a rustic edge to the nose of this 11-vineyard blend of 45% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre and 2% Counoise, starting with aromas of fennel and sage alongside cranberry fruit. The palate settles into a smoother display of wild berry and cherry, as chaparral spice pairs to the leathery texture.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet

The nose offers crisp aromas of red plum, pomegranate and light herb, while the palate is bright in plum, thyme, black pepper and fennel pollen flavors. Elegant yet easygoing, this is a nice wine for daytime or evening enjoyment. 93 Wine Spectator Decidedly savory, yet fresh and inviting, with thyme and licorice root notes that meld with a silky textured core of juicy plum and wild strawberry that are buoyed by fresh acidity. This circles back to its opening notes on the finish around mineral-tinged tannins and hints of cocoa powder. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise.
