(RP) (8/2006)

Tablas Creek, Paso Robles, Esprit de Tablas Red 2012 CJF Selections (RP) (8/2006)The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas is a blend of four estate grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Chteau de Beaucastel estate. The wine is based on the dark red fruit, earth, spice and mid palate richness of Mourvdre, with additions of Grenache for forward fruit, approachability and lushness, Syrah for mineral, aromatics, and back palate tannins, and Counoise for brambly spice and acidity. 2012 Esprit de Tablas (40%
