2010 Patelin de Tablas Blanc and 2009 Cotes de Tablas recognized in "Best of 2011" lists

We’re thrilled that two different Tablas Creek wines were recognized by the Wine Spectator and the San Francisco Chronicle in their influential year-end "Top 100" lists.  The Spectator recognized the 2009 Cotes de Tablas (93 points, $30) while the Chronicle recognized the 2010 Patelin de Tablas Blanc.  This is the third consecutive year a Tablas Creek wine has been featured in the Wine Spectator's list, and the sixth time in the last seven years Tablas Creek has been so honored by the San Francisco Chronicle.  We're perhaps proudest that both publications made their selections in large part for the quality that each wine delivers at a modest price.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Reviews Tablas Creek: 19 Wines 90+ Points

It was a pleasure to meet Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker's hand-picked successor for California wine, when he visited Paso Robles in early June. We're excited with his review: 19 wines rated 90 points or higher, including the 2008 Panoplie (96 points), the 2008 Esprit (94 points), the 2009 Esprit (91-94 points), 2008 Mourvèdre (93 points), 2010 Esprit Blanc (90-92 points), and the 2009 En Gobelet (92 points).

Equally welcome were his comments about the value that we provide; he said that Tablas Creek provides "a broad range of compelling bottles across all price ranges", and called the 2010 Patelin "one of the finest values in California wine". You can read the entire review.

February Featured Wine: 2009 Tannat

Each month, we feature a wine that we feel is showing particularly well, and offer that wine at a 10% discount.  The 2009 Tannat is dark and smoky, rich with fruit yet powerfully structured. The Wine Advocate gave it 90-93 points and called it "absolutely fabulous...with an opulent, full-bodied personality graced with exquisite inner perfume". Read more » or order online »


On the Blog: Mapping out Tablas Creek's future

February 1, 2012

It's been a busy couple of years for us. We expanded our winery, launched the Patelin de Tablas wines, and dove into Biodynamics. But perhaps the biggest investment we've made in the long-term success of Tablas Creek is the purchase of the 150-acre parcel to our south. Read more »
