Description
Discover the Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc 2019, a remarkable expression of California's rich terroir, carefully crafted from 100% estate-grown fruit. Nestled just twelve miles from the coast in the coveted Paso Robles region, this vintage showcases the exceptional harmony of climate and soil, resulting in vibrant, fully ripe grapes with a refreshing acidity.
The 2019 vintage benefited from ample rainfall and a cooler early season, which gradually transitioned to ideal warm conditions for harvest, imparting intense flavors and dazzling concentration. Each bottle features a meticulously crafted blend of the following varietals:
- 63% Roussanne
- 20% Grenache Blanc
- 14% Picpoul Blanc
- 3% Picardan
With a combination of whole bunch pressing and fermentation in both oak and stainless steel, this wine develops a beautifully complex character. Indulge in its intricate aromatic profile, which unveils notes of orange blossom, honeycomb, and pine nut that elegantly intertwine. On the palate, experience a vibrant play of zesty citrus, including Meyer lemon and kaffir lime, complemented by a richness reminiscent of creamy Roussanne and a refreshing touch of passion fruit.
For the ultimate tasting experience, serve the Esprit de Tablas Blanc chilled between 10-12°C in large tulip-shaped glasses to amplify its aromatic complexity. Enhance the presentation with:
- An edible flower garnish, such as a violet or pansy, for a visually stunning touch.
- A chilled seafood tower featuring oysters, uni, and citrus-marinated scallops for a luxurious pairing.
- A refreshing spritz by mixing the wine with elderflower liqueur and sparkling water, garnished with a twist of cucumber ribbon.
- A vibrant goat cheese and herb flatbread topped with lemon zest and toasted pine nuts for a perfect balance of flavors.
Whether enjoyed as an aperitif at an outdoor gathering or as a delightful accompaniment to fine cuisine, the Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc 2019 is an exceptional choice for wine lovers seeking a captivating and elegant experience.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This cooler range preserves freshness and prevents premature aging. Avoid large fluctuations as they can damage the wine by forcing the cork to expand and contract.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark or dimly lit environment to avoid UV light exposure which can degrade the wine and alter its flavors.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist and intact to prevent oxidation. Avoid storing white wine in a standard refrigerator for long periods since it can dry out the cork and accelerate aging.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle horizontally so the wine stays in contact with the cork maintaining its moisture and airtight seal.
- Humidity: Maintain a storage humidity of around 70% to keep corks from drying while avoiding mold growth.
- Special Tips for White Wine: For opened bottles reseal tightly (using the original cork or a vacuum stopper) and refrigerate consuming within 3–5 days for best quality. Avoid long-term storage of opened bottles.
These conditions maintain the delicate aromas and crispness characteristic of white wine and extend its shelf life effectively.
