Tablas Creek Winery Releases 2004 Esprit de Beaucastel

Paso Robles’ Tablas Creek Winery released its 2004 Esprit de Beaucastel to its mailing list in September, but just released it nationally.

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Beaucastel 2004 is a blend of four estate-grown varietals; 50% Mourvèdre, 27% Syrah, 17% Grenache and 6% Counoise. Robert Parker recently rated this wine 92 points, and Steve Tanzer gave it a 92+ point rating.

“The 2004 Esprit de Beaucastel is dark black-red in color, with a rich briary nose of dark red fruit (plum and currant), sweet spices (nutmeg, clove) and mocha. The elegant, layered palate shows spicy plum and cherry fruit, smoky, meaty flavors, and ripe tannins. The long finish reveals mineral and black cherry. The wine is showing remarkably well now, but should evolve elegantly in bottle for 10-15 years or longer.”
