Tablas Creek Vineyard<br />
Patelin de Tablas Rosé<br />
Paso Robles, California<br />
A$23<br />
After tasting this rosé at a wine<br />
trade show earlier this year, I eagerly<br />
awaited its market release.<br />
Striking notes of strawberry, rose<br />
petal and a gorgeously long citrustinged<br />
finish led me to learn more<br />
about this California contender.<br />
Tablas Creek Vineyard was created<br />
in 1985 as a partnership between<br />
the Perrin family of France’s<br />
Château de Beaucastel (one of<br />
Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s top domaines)<br />
and Robert Haas, longtime<br />
importer and founder of Vineyard<br />
Brands. In 1989, they purchased a<br />
120-acre lot in the Las Tablas district<br />
of Paso Robles in central California.<br />
The area has qualities similar<br />
to those of Châteauneuf-du-Pape,<br />
including limestone soil, a rocky<br />
terrain and a favorable climate.<br />
The Patelin de Tablas rosé is a<br />
blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and<br />
Counoise grapes grown on vines<br />
cloned from France’s Rhône Valley.<br />
It delivers flavors of fresh red<br />
fruit, especially strawberry, as well<br />
as darker fruit flavors and acidity,<br />
which is balanced by the minerality<br />
provided by the Paso Robles terroir.<br />
Due to a second consecutive<br />
drought year, low yields, a warm<br />
summer and the winery’s earliest<br />
harvest on record, the 2013 vintage<br />
shows “excellent concentration, refined<br />
tannins and good freshness,”<br />
according to the winemaker. “[It is]<br />
a vintage that should be impressive<br />
and approachable young but that<br />
has the stuffing to age.”<br />
