Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas 2018

Deep, shimmering ruby. Intensely perfumed raspberry, boysenberry, baking spice and lavender scents show outstanding clarity and mineral lift. Stains the palate with lively red/blue fruit, spice-cake and floral pastille flavors that steadily deepen through the midpalate, with no loss of energy. Clings with noteworthy tenacity on an impressively long, energetic finish that features harmonious tannins and resonating floral and mineral notes. Drinking window: 2023-2033. Score – 96.
