Tablas Creek 2020 Patelin de Tablas Blanc

The 2020 Patelin de Tablas Blanc from Tablas Creek Vineyard is a Rhône-style white blend from Paso Robles. The wine combines fruit from several top vineyard sites in the region. As a result, it shows both freshness and complexity.

This Paso Robles white blend brings together Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Clairette Blanche. Each variety contributes to balance and structure. Therefore, the wine reflects a classic southern Rhône style in a California setting.

The 2020 growing season began with a cool spring and delayed budbreak. Then, a shorter and warmer summer followed. As a result, the fruit ripened with concentration while retaining natural acidity. This balance defines the wine’s style.

The team pressed the fruit as whole clusters and fermented it with native yeasts in stainless steel. Therefore, the wine preserves clarity, freshness, and varietal character.

On the nose, this Rhône-style white shows nectarine, pink grapefruit, and fresh herbal notes. In addition, hints of wheat grass and mint add complexity. On the palate, the wine feels smooth and layered. Apricot and citrus flavours lead the way, while a creamy texture adds depth. At the same time, bright acidity keeps the wine focused. As a result, the finish is clean, mineral driven, and refreshing.

This Paso Robles white blend pairs well with shellfish, ceviche, salads, and light vegetable dishes. In addition, it works well with lemon based fish and Asian cuisine. Serve chilled at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius to highlight freshness and balance.
