| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 45 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by OhioNerd on 4/22/2024 & rated 93 points: Agree with latest reviewers. Drinking great and will for a while. (169 views) | | | Tasted by agbanker on 12/29/2023 & rated 93 points: Tasted from magnum that was decanted for 2 hours. Garnet colored with no signs of bricking. Aromas of dark fruit, blueberries and blackberries. Medium mouth feel with soft tannins that integrate well with the low acid level. Light flavors of herbs, dark fruit and licorice. A good long finish. Paired well with a pork roast. This wine still has good life left in it and will stay viable for another 5-8 years. (544 views) | | | Tasted by SLOFred on 12/4/2023 & rated 94 points: Just a fabulous wine! Opened simultaneously with the 2011. Tasted with a large group of wine drinkers! We all went back and forth on which one was better. Bottom line--both great, drinking really well right now, and it boils down to personal preference, but can't go wrong! (598 views) | | | Tasted by wilypod on 11/15/2023 & rated 92 points: 70% Mourvèdre is the dominant component. It can age further. Faint bricking on the edges. Moderately spicy, chocolatey nose. I like the tannins just the way they feel now, with some resistance but getting resolved. Mid-weight, very smooth, complex but less-than-articulate palate mixes mint, cocoa and mild paprika/chorizo with blackberry-cherry compote, fig, and dry savory herb. Lingering tannins elevate the package considerably. Another two years to bring it all into focus? (542 views) | | | Tasted by tward on 11/5/2023 & rated 95 points: Outstanding. Drank beautifully with only a brief time open and expanded further with air. These always need at least a decade to show well and this clearly could have gone another 10-15 years. Exotic spice, plum, baking spice, this shows depth of fruit, meaty even, but it surprisingly racy. Such a nice pairing with a Moroccan braised lamb neck dish. (The lamb was sourced from Tablas Creek!)
14.5% abv. Not even a trace of heat here.
(Natural cork in perfect condition, very little seepage, 1-2mm) (580 views) | | | Tasted by SLOFred on 12/28/2022 & rated 93 points: Lovely wine. Definitely a keeper. I think it is mostly ready to drink, but still with some aging potential. TCV flagship wine, and it shows. Incredible complexity, full body, full mouth feel from front to back palate. This bottling of TCV is consistently of high quality. (945 views) | | | Tasted by Deux Chevaux on 2/14/2022: Ruby, with some bricking. Savory and earthy. Nicely balanced, good acidity, and yet we found it a bit muddy. Still, enjoyable enough over three nights. (1399 views) | | | Tasted by rjt986 on 1/16/2022 & rated 93 points: A bit flat on initial opening, but starting coming alive after an hour or two.
An enjoyable dark fruit sweetness on the nose.
Meatiness, smoke, and minerality on the palate.
Did start drying out after about 4 hours. Tells me that this still has some life, but I’ll be finishing my remaining bottles in the next few years. (1110 views) | | | Tasted by Dine&Vine on 12/12/2021 & rated 88 points: A bit flat, unexciting and unremarkable for Tablas’ top of the line wine. Disappointed for sure. (1025 views) | | | Tasted by jchrisharris on 9/4/2021 & rated 94 points: Decanted about an hour. Beautiful nose and acidity. Flexible to go with lighter fare or a meaty steak. Peaked at around 2 hours, with noticeable cliff at about 3 hours. (1217 views) | | | Tasted by rmalloy on 8/20/2021 & rated 91 points: This wine has a pretty bouquet of floral, oak, blackberry, and game aromas. While elegant, it lacks concentration and energy. I remember the 2011 vintage being better. (1073 views) | | | Tasted by O’Duinn on 5/22/2021 & rated 89 points: Decanted about 30 minutes before first service. Impressive amount of sediment in bottle on “laid down side”!, moderate ruby red color with the element of light brown, nose tilts to grapy with and not fruity/berryish plus has an earthy note, flavors favor classical grape with rounded smoothness and finish. (807 views) | | | Tasted by SLOman on 4/19/2021 & rated 96 points: Superb! Soft and elegant. Best wine I've had in years (843 views) | | | Tasted by barrytaylor on 10/16/2020 & rated 90 points: deep color, ready, tobacco @ spice box (1190 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 9/11/2020 & rated 94 points: Black fruit, spice, cassis, jammy fruit, hints of black licorice and finishes with smoke. A (1176 views) | | | Tasted by dino_mike on 12/23/2019 & rated 93 points: After reading on the wineries site that this vintage is ready I opened and poured: Great balance of dark and red berry fruit with very slight smokiness that tasted the same and was full bodied. Finish was smooth, long and complex with nothing feeling over ripe or over aged. Felt ripe and fleshy with almost a baked strawberry flavor mixed well with light forest floor notes. But do drink in the next year or 2. (1488 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 2/28/2019 & rated 93 points: Opened last night, and the air really helped. Dark ruby, throwing a big sediment. Pretty aroma of nice Provençal fruit and olives. Pretty damn good in the mouth as well, with oodles of sumptuous fruit tending towards red but also some dark fruits as well. This is ready to drink if you give it enough air. Really fine, it is my first full bottle of Panoplie so this was a treat. Just Unctuous. 5-13-16-9: 93/100. (1931 views) | | | Tasted by Tom Warden on 6/17/2018 & rated 93 points: Smooth, integrated, mellow. (2195 views) | | | Tasted by EM_MB on 6/16/2018 & rated 90 points: Drinking really well now. A solid effort but not great QPR. (1687 views) | | | Tasted by azscot on 3/2/2018 & rated 90 points: Decanted for 3 hrs. Lots of black fruit long finish. Very pleasing but still needs another couple of years (1925 views) | | | Tasted by tb_baltimore on 2/1/2018 & rated 92 points: Long decant really brought this to life -- drinking well and most likely will continue to get better with more time in bottle -- (1638 views) | | | Tasted by Ed in Montana on 11/22/2017 & rated 96 points: Unlike any GSM blend I have ever had, and hard for me to describe. Smooth slightly fruity, great tasting with charcoal roasted free range chicken with Herbs de Provenance. (1710 views) | | | Tasted by Babik on 9/24/2017 & rated 93 points: PNP, no sediment. Nose of bright red fruits, Asian spice, garrigue, baking spices. Meaty palate, pastiche, smoked salted meats, ample tannin. Hold. 93 now with definite upside on the back end with full integration. (1300 views) | | | Tasted by Wineson on 9/18/2017 & rated 92 points: Very good. Smooth, meaty, has something. (1209 views) | | | Tasted by brinko99 on 8/24/2017 & rated 89 points: Very rich for a Tablas with excessive VA both up front and throughout the palate. The ripeness has me concerned about the ageability of the wine. I'll keep an eye on the vintage chart that the winery publishes.

| 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.Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce. 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
