Patelin de Tablas

The grapes come from four sub-regions of Paso Robles: three limestone sites in Adelaida, Templeton Gap and El Pomar, as well as sandy loam in the warmer Geneseo District. Syrah provides dark fruit and spice, Grenache freshness, Mourvèdre structure and Counoise additional complexity. Fermentation took place in upright oak vessels and stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months of maturation in 1,500-gallon oak barrels. The 2023 vintage was marked by a very wet winter, cool growing conditions and a long ripening period. The palate shows black fruit, liquorice, plum skin, pepper and smoky tea notes, supported by lively acidity and medium to full body.
