Tablas Creek 2019 Patelin de Tablas

Patelin de Tablas 2019 is the signature red blend from Tablas Creek, inspired by the great wines of the Southern Rhône. Crafted from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise, the cuvée sources fruit from top vineyards across Paso Robles. Each grape adds something essential: Syrah brings dark fruit, spice, and mineral tension. Grenache offers lift and vibrancy. Mourvèdre adds depth and structure. Counoise rounds out the blend with a touch of freshness and aromatic complexity.

This vintage reflects the energy of 2019 and the estate’s Rhône-driven winemaking philosophy. It has earned widespread acclaim for its clarity, spice, and balance. Critics consistently highlight its expressive fruit and harmonious character, calling it one of the best value wines in the region.

On the nose, bold notes of blackberry, bramble, teriyaki, and cracked black pepper come forward immediately. The palate follows with juicy elderberry, plum skin, graphite, and hints of loamy earth. Fine tannins frame the wine’s structure, while forest spice lingers on a long, refined finish.

While drinking beautifully today, the Patelin de Tablas 2019 also has the balance and concentration to age for up to ten years. Serve it with grilled meats, root vegetable stews, or aged cheeses for a perfect pairing.
