“The 2023 Patelin de Tablas Blanc bursts from the glass with a flourish of sweet herbs and spring flowers. It displays a balanced inner sweetness and crisp white pit fruits, coming across juicy yet also full of zesty tension. It finishes refreshing and long, with a sensation of liquid stone that lingers on.”

The nose shows layers of citrus, orange blossoms, jasmine and biscuits. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and notes of cantaloupe, nectarines and red apples. Generous and giving, with a mineral core. A blend of 50% grenache blanc, 23% viognier, 10% roussanne, 8% marsanne, 8% vermentino, 1% bourboulenc. Drink or hold.

White flower, honeydew and mineral aromas of chalk and stone show on the nose of this blend of 50% Grenache Blanc, 23% Viognier, 10% Roussanne, 8% Marsanne, 8% Vermentino and 1% Bourboulenc. A softer texture frames lemon, nectarine and guava flavors on the palate.

A bright, airy, summery white Rhône blend for the first name in the varieties in the US. With six different varieties coming from 10 different Paso Robles vineyards, it’s Tablas’ take on the region; it’s fresh, lively, and loaded with citrus. Aromas of sweet blossom, green mango and dried wild herbs finish with a touch of salinity.

By now, I’m sure you know the story, but if not, here’s a brief refresher: The wine world was forever changed in 1987 when the Perrin family, the family behind the legendary Chateau de Beaucastel, struck a partnership with the Haas family of the U.S. importer Vineyard Brands to create ‘Tablas Creek’. The two families had known each other for years, and both firmly believed that Paso Robles was far more than just the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant land that it was – perhaps even the perfect place to plant Rhone varietals.

Here’s why Tablas Creek matters: They didn’t just make wine—they changed American winemaking forever. Rather than keeping their elite Beaucastel clones for themselves, they sold them to hundreds of other wineries across the country. Most of the high-quality Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Roussanne planted in California today can be traced back to Tablas Creek. They elevated the entire “Rhône Ranger” movement.
