Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc 2007
Tablas Creek The 2007 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc is a powerful expression of the 2007 vintage at Tablas Creek. It shows aromas of rose petals, candied lemon, honeycomb, white pepper, and sweet oak, rich Roussanne flavors of honey and sweet spice and long, dry, slightly tropical finish. It should drink well when young but will also reward time in bottle; we expect it to show beautifully for at least the next 8-10 years. Food Pairings: Cooked shellfish (lobster, softshell crab, shrimp); Roasted or grilled vegetables (eggplant, asparagus, peppers); Foods cooked with garlic and olive oil; Rich fish dishes (i.e., salmon, swordfish); Asian stir fry. Wine Advocate The 2007 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc, a blend of 68% Roussanne, 22% Grenache Blanc, and the balance other varietals. It exhibits abundant floral notes intermixed with notions of licorice, orange blossoms, lemon oil, white currants, and honeyed grapefruit, good fruit, medium to full body, and terrific acidity as well as freshness. Score: 92-94. —Robert Parker, June 2008.Wine Enthusiast This is an hommage to the owning family’s white Rhône wine from France. It’s a crisp, minerally wine, firm and clean and dry, with flavors of dried citrus fruits, orange peel, honeysuckle flower, vanilla and toast. Shows real elegance and sophistication. Score: 91. —Steve Heimoff, August 01, 2009.Wine Spectator Appealing for its smoky overtones, medium body, waxy texture and broad apple and citrus flavors. A mouthwatering acidity adds lightness and clarity to the Meyer lemon, peach, pear and spice details. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul Blanc. Drink now. Score: 89. —MaryAnn Worobiec, 2009.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
