Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend

Complex, round, floral-earth.

[64% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc, 10% Picpoul Blanc, 13.5% ABV] Nutty, floral, white stonefruit blossom, zippy acidity, seems very youthful for a 15-year-old white California Rhone, nice balance, not really fat or heavy on the palate, long, lingering finish, really quite outstanding!!

Showing beautifully right now. Opened up as we decanted. Frank it next to a 2013. Both we great but this one was far more complex

Rich, unctuous, and creamy. Ripe golden apple, almond skins, and hazelnuts with salted melon rind. Salinity is the main plot in the long finish.

Tasted with grilled salmon with Eileen and Brian . Beautiful " French" nose, lovely long aftertaste

Oaky, vanilla, lovely blend of perfumed flowers, excellent with halibut

Fantastic, Rich with a long finish.

Grenache Blanc and Picpoul seem to dominate a bit then a bam of minerality.

Enjoyed the 2013 better. A little flat on the palate. Hints of vanilla on the nose.
