Tablas Creek Cotes de Tablas Rouge 2007
Varietal: Rhone Red Blends
Vineyard: Tablas Creek Vineyard
Region: Central Coast, California
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas is a blend of three estate-grown Rhône varietals: Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise. Like most wines of the Southern Rhône, it is a blend of varietals, featuring the fruit and spice of Grenache balanced by the structure and mineral of Syrah and the appealing briary wildness of Counoise.
As with all our wines, the grapes for our Côtes de Tablas were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2007 Côtes de Tablas has an intensely Grenache nose of cherries, rare steak and pepper. It is medium-bodied, with rich juicy, spicy flavors, gentle ripe tannins and a finish laced with licorice.
