Tablas Creek 2018 Marsanne

The 2018 Marsanne from Tablas Creek Vineyard comes from the limestone rich hills of the Adelaida District in Paso Robles. This single varietal white wine uses only estate grown fruit. As a result, it reflects over two decades of organic and biodynamic farming.

The 2018 growing season brought steady and balanced conditions. Winter rains restored the soils, while a long season allowed gradual ripening. Therefore, the wine maintains both richness and natural acidity.

The team fermented the wine with native yeasts and aged it in neutral French oak. This approach adds texture without masking the fruit. As a result, the wine remains expressive and precise.

On the nose, this Paso Robles Marsanne shows honeysuckle, quince, and a hint of almond. In addition, subtle floral tones add complexity. On the palate, the wine feels soft yet focused. Flavours of pear skin and light herbal notes come forward first. Then, a gentle touch of salted caramel adds depth. At the same time, a mineral edge carries the wine through a long and balanced finish.

This Marsanne drinks well now. However, it will continue to develop with time in bottle. Because few California producers focus on varietal Marsanne, this wine stands out for its rarity and character.

This Paso Robles Rhône-style white pairs well with roasted poultry, grilled white fish, and soft cheeses. Serve lightly chilled. For best results, decant when young to open up the aromatics.
