 Tasted by mwneil on 3/6/2024 & rated 85 points: Golden color with a bit of pink, disjointed, ok fruit, acid with a touch of alcohol, disappointing, my wife thought it opened up a bit, drank with veggies with Hong Kong noodles and steamed Black Sea bass and soup dumplings, would not drink again but might try next vintage.

 Tasted by wine4ever on 5/15/2023: Excellent example of how lovely this rhone grape can be on its own. Full bodied, bright acidity, citrus, apple, mineral. Nice, smooth finish. If they weren't sold out, I would have bought more. Enjoy it young. (1097 views)

 Tasted by tanglenet on 12/31/2022: Quick notes: too sweet; somewhat flat; low acidity; not interesting (1249 views)

+ just ripe apple on the palate
Bitterness on the finish

Tablas Creek

Producer website
Tablas Creek Vineyard, founded by the Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas of Vineyard Brands, is dedicated to growing grape varieties traditional to France's Rhone Valley. The partners chose hilly western Paso Robles for its limestone soils, rugged terrain, and ocean influence. All Tablas Creek wines are estate grown using environmentally sustainable practices.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
