Tablas Creek Vineyard Cotes de Tablas Red 2018 Review
This is a great American wine. It has depth and a big personality, while not sacrificing subtlety. This bottle is a joy to drink, and I am not sure I want to share. The nose smells like blackberry compote and fresh cracked black pepper. Also, if you've ever been in an herb garden, your brain will go straight there when you stick your nose in the glass. The tannins are grippy, framing all of this awesome. Instead of steak I’m thinkin about roasting some pork or maybe grillin up lamb. BRB.
