| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 22 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by idonotlikeliver on 2/4/2022 & rated 90 points: really nice. explosive bouquet, fresh and floral-y. overall, a much more lively wine than expected. plenty of acid left, good balance with the fruit, yum. (376 views) | | | Tasted by tward on 6/8/2017 & rated 87 points: No notes, had over a couple of nights. Probably should have had this a year or two ago as the nose seemed a bit faded and it wasn't as vibrant as I'd expected it to be. Still, nice. (1101 views) | | | Tasted by SLOFred on 4/18/2016 & rated 89 points: Nice for before dinner, but the fruitiness was kind of gone. I maybe an awkward phase? I rarely if ever get a bottle of TCV that I don't just love. This was not up to their usual standards. Could be just the bottle, not the wine. (1658 views) | | | Tasted by bruce.lovett@yahoo.com on 12/14/2015 & rated 89 points: nothing really wrong with this wine but nothing really remarkable either. missing the floral essence i think a quality viognier should have (1758 views) | | | Tasted by SLOFred on 8/31/2015 & rated 88 points: A very decent wine, good up front but very shallow in the finish. Not one of the best TCV efforts. I expected a bit more from a 2013 which is really a great vintage. (1960 views) | | | Tasted by SLOFred on 6/23/2015 & rated 89 points: Usual high TCV quality. (1811 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 6/4/2015: most widely planted white Rhone variety in CA. 3000 acres in CA.
water weight to the palate. very charming example, but without all of the weight and plump texture that I often associated with this variety. melon fruit to the palate. musk melon. (1224 views) | | | Tasted by Doblk on 5/20/2015 & rated 87 points: Very slight floral nose. Harsh on opening. Softened over a couple of hours, but stayed fairly dominated by glycerin and acidity. Not terrible, but it didn't show well for me. Not the best of the TC wines I have had. (834 views) | | | Tasted by BobMilton on 3/13/2015 & rated 89 points: Good acidity. Not as floral as many Viogniers. (758 views) | | | Tasted by Stockhausen on 1/26/2015: as of Jan 2015, Tablas vintage chart - peak maturity, drink or hold (817 views) | | | Tasted by jonahfactor on 11/1/2014 & rated 89 points: (Tasting at the winery) Delicious. Almost clear in the glass with nice legs, this offered great texture on the palate with lilting floral notes, including honeysuckle. Wonderful balance. (819 views) | | | Tasted by Zaffiro on 10/11/2014 & rated 92 points: A delightful food-friendly wine, with lovely floral scent and the fruit under control. Not your typical overblown California viognier. Paired beautifully with salumi antipasto and linguine with prosciutto and peas. (801 views) |

| 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.ViognierViogner is wrong wine
This is nonsense.USAAmerican 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.California2021 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
