2013 Tablas Creek "Esprit de Tablas" Paso Robles Rh̫ne Blend with sustained minerality and prettyOpaque ruby. Deep, smoke accented aromas of red and blue fruits, candied flowers and cracked pepper convey a slow building mineral quality. At once rich and energetic, offering intense black raspberry and boysenberry compote flavors given spine by juicy acidity. Finishes spicy and impressively long, with velvety tannins arriving late and adding gentle grip. (JR)
