Tablas Creek 2023 Esprit de Tablas Blanc

Winery Notes:

A deep nose of honeycomb, baked pear, white flowers, lemongrass, vanilla bean, and key lime pie. The palate is rich and broad but with lift too, with flavors of fresh apricot, creme brulee, preserved lemon, citrus pith, chalky minerals. The finish leaves lingering notes of grilled pineapple, green herbs, and a kiss of sweet oak. Drink now to enjoy its freshness or let it age for up to two decades for deeper flavors of caramel and roasted nuts.

Composition: 48% Roussanne, 22% Grenache Blanc, 13% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Bourboulenc, 5% Picardin, 2% Clairette Blanche
