Excellent pairing with a Greek themed dinner, grilled chicken with tzatziki sauce, roasted lemon and garlic potatoes, and orzo salad. It was delicious.

Grenache Night 2023 (Black Sheep, Santa Barbara, CA): A really impressive bottle, fresh, balanced and exactly what I was looking for to kick off our Grenache tasting on a warm summer eve. Perfumed, citrus-laden nose with some floral elements and loads of petrol. Good energy, tension and balance with a refreshing mouthfeel. Stone fruit joins the citrus notes. Beautifully delineated, nearly 10 years on. Well done.

Slo-oxed for 10 minutes and the wine could have used a bit more air time. The color was a clear medium straw yellow. Definite mineral notes on the nose. On the medium bodied palate there is some apple, lemon, minerality, and nicely juicy acidity that cleanses the palate. A very lively and food friendly version of Grenache Blanc that, according to the Tablas Creek Vintage Chart, may hold for another couple of years.

Tables Creek always produces a wonderful Grenache Blanc, this vintage is no exception. A great easy drinking wine.

Loved this wine. A little more than subtle minerality, great balance, herbal nuances, and mild fruit. Wish I had more...
