Spicy blackberries. Not too complex but still solid.

Easy drinking, fresh iteration of a Rhône blend from Paso. Does not show its 14% on the palate, strawberry, raspberry, a little pepper.

Elegant and delicate showing strawberry, raspberry and flower. Medium to full bodied, fresh acidity and soft tannins. Appears lighter than it really is. NI:4, FI:22, FC:7, B:3, L:4

Fantastic CDR style wine from a good Paso Producer. Sure it’s not really French but a great expression of the grapes and Paso terroir. Rich red fruit and beautiful structured tannin to frame the wine. Good earthiness and a spicy bramble. Good concentration. It’s an entry one for Tablas but you could easily sock away a couple cases.

Tasting at Tablas Creek : Ruby color. Raspberry and strawberry, black pepper, anise, leather, and lavender. Floral red fruit flavors with integrated fresh herb and pepper. Bright and succulent, with ripe juicy tannins and good length

This wine was quite good. We're not big earthy grenache types but this wine had a hint of fruit, a nice full body and a nice finish

Dark purple color and a firm nose of dark berries, ripe plums and a smokey backing with a touch of tar. Good from beginning to end with great balance...full rounded texture of fruit that that had a light framework holding it together...very resolved and showing more layers of flavor than I remember. Wish I had more bottles...

Cloudy garnet color. Candied raspberries, graphite and a slight violet note. Just a hint of EtOH. Great acidup front that made it a fantastic match with a grilled KC strip. Raspberry and graphite carry through. Moderate finish with excellent spice. Very good QPR.

Big, rustic red fruits. Good concentration. A zip of acidity.

Rich dark color and a full lasting nose of strong berries, plums and a very fresh earthy component. Jumps right at you on tasting with a full mouth of strong fruit and spice with a nuance of pepper, and an even tannic grip that holds it together for a great finish. Better than good stuff...

Tasty, but not outstanding. If you're drinking now, decant for 30-60 minutes. Could stand another year or two in the bottle, surprisingly enough...

14.5% alc...38 Mourved, 34 Syrah, 24 Grenache, 4 Counoise...electric nose! Bright cherry, spicy, leather, loads of dusty earth and I swear if I didn't know this was from the big CA, I would've guessed a healthy dose of garrigue - but this doesn't happen in CA...slight spritz initially - this wine is a ringer for Domaine de la Garrigue's CdR from '01. Not just similar, but almost exactly the same, great acid balance, all earth, spice and dark exotic fruits. …

With Cabrito and cabbage in Carrizo Springs. This was an excellent match and a great value wine. There is plenty of spice on the nose and the palate, good robust finish and a mouthfull of fruit. Ready to drink at full speed.

Had this a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Tonight I grilled a couple of grass-fed ribeyes and for some reason felt the need to open another for a match. IMO the robust, almost gamey beef flavor of top quality grass-fed beef is just asking for a relatively easy drinking but quality Rhone (or clone). This was not a dissappointment, and in fact I found it to have a little more depth than the last bottle. Great match with …

Tasted at the winery. Bright disc. Medium ruby robe with red rim. Clean but somewhat muted nose, showing moderately intense aromas of blackberries, pepper and dry earth. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity, big dry tannins and similar flavors as for the nose. Medium, dry finish. Short-term cellaring (to soften the tannins and develop the aromatics) may lead to an upward revision of my score for this wine.

Delicious - bright cherries, spice, and vanilla. Relatively simple, but very rich and balanced. Great effort at a very fair price.

38% Mourvedre, 34% Syrah, 24% Grenache, 4% Counoise. Very Rhone-ish, like a warm climate cotes du rhone. Plummy red fruit, some waxy nuances, food-friendly acidity. Nice.
