Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas Red 2023 Review

Tablas Creek works to showcase the grape varieties of France’s Rhône Valley through the terroir of California’s Central Coast. The winery’s Côtes de Tablas red is a play on the Côtes du Rhône appellation, blending together estate-grown Grenache, Syrah, Counoise, and Mourvèdre. Though inspired by its French counterparts, this wine expresses the Paso Robles terroir. The wine wonderfully balances the bright red fruit from the Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre’s darker, more savory characteristics. The palate is soft, supple, and concentrated with quiet, edgy tannins.
