2023 Tablas Creek Patelin Rose Paso Robles (3 Liter Box)

“Soft peach, watermelon and rose petal aromas hold their poise for days on the nose of this blend of 71% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 8% Vermentino and 1% Counoise. The palate is energetic and and stony in texture, offering crisp pomegranate and orange peel flavors.” – Matt Kettmann Review Date: June 2024

“Taking a page from the Rhône's use of Rolle the white grape in rosé, Tablas Creek has used it here to perfection, under its other name, Vermentino. Bright candied strawberries, and cut fresh rhubarb are accented by soaring citrus accents. The palate loads up on fresh bright fruits, flavours of blood orange and early-season wild strawberries play alongside crushed slate, ripe raspberry and just a faint whisper of garrigue. Drinking Window: 2024 – 2032” – Clive Pursehouse
