Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Rouge 2011
52 Syrah, 29 Grenache, 18 Mourvèdre, 1 Counoise
Smokey plums reveal the Syrah right from the nose. Juicy rhubarb washes over the palate and lifts into a mélange of roasted and floral notes… Polished medium bodied and delightful to drink.
Wine review by Nicholas D. Livingston, November 2012
The 2011 Patelin de Tablas marries the spice, mineral and structure of Syrah with the generous fruit of Grenache, the backbone of Mourvedre and the brightness of Counoise. Drink it now or over the next decade.
