Tablas Creek, Patelin de Tablas Rose Paso Robles 2022

91 points Vinous
“The 2022 Rosé Patelin de Tablas is pleasantly floral and sweet, with pretty white strawberry and mint aromas. Soothingly round and juicy, this impresses with its energy and floral-laced peach tones. It finishes with a twang of bitter tension while leaving the mouth watering for more. This blend of 67% Grenache, 21% Mourvèdre, 9% Counoise and 3% Vermentino is incredibly pretty.”

"A blend of 67% Grenache, 21% Mourvèdre, 9% Counoise and 3% Vermentino. Closed with a screwcap. 3,360 cases produced.
Palest coppery pink. Smells of citrus peel, garden flowers and hibiscus. Silky flavours of strawberry, orange peel, orange blossom and a touch of pear are juicy clean. Very good acidity. I’d actually like some more acidity, but that wouldn’t keep me from having another glass of this! 17/20 points. (AY)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Winery: The Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas Rosé is a rosé blend in the tradition of Provence, produced from three red Rhône varietals: Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise, with an addition of Vermentino. The wine incorporates fruit from ten top Rhône vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like most rosé wines from the Rhône Valley, it is based on the bright strawberry fruit and fresh acidity of Grenache, with additions of deeper red fruit and structure from Mourvèdre and spice from Counoise. Many Provence rosés incorporate small amounts of Vermentino -- a white grape -- for citrusy lift and we are doing so for the first time this vintage. Tasting Notes: A pretty light peach color. On the nose, bright aromatics of mandarin orange, cherry blossom, wild strawberry, and chalky minerals. The mouth is bursting with yellow plum and nectarine, salty minerality, bright acids, and a lingering finish with notes of sea spray and citrus pith. Drink over the next year or two.
