Tablas Creek - Mourvedre - Paso Robles 2006


Score: 17.5/20 Concluded by my 5element tasting method

Very classic Rhone style. Nice posture of earth & minerals. Well defined rustic cranberries & dried herbs. A ultra fine velvety entry & finish. Great tune of harmony.
It was totally a surprise to find a wine like this, especially in California.
Story behind: Later, I found out this was a project of Chateau de Beaucastel. Vines cuttings were imported from Beaucastel estate. The vines grow on limestone sil found in the Las Tablas district of Paso Robles, chosen for its similarity of Chateauneuf du Pape, Mmmm…well, where is the goblet ?
100% Organically grown grapes. I really respect them by using native yeast.
