The 2022 Patelin de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 49% Grenache Blanc, 22% Viognier, 10% Marsanne, 10% Vermentino, 4% Roussanne, 3% Picpoul and 2% Bourboulenc. It has ripe aromas of guava, honey and white pepper with savory undertones. The medium-bodied palate explodes with ripe, tropical fruit and spicy accents. It has bright acidity, and a gentle touch of texture extends the finish.

A delicious blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Vermentino and a few other varieties comes together to deliver a wine of natural balance and bright fruit—perfumed floral aromatics of jasmine, honeysuckle and English hawthorn. The palate is a melange of stone and tree fruits. Bosc pears, cut nectarines and honeyed Fuji apple make way for a finish of petrichor and crushed chalk.

This is half grenache blanc, blended with viognier, marsanne, vermentino, roussanne, picpoul and bourboulenc. It leads with classic orange and orange blossom notes, dry and floral and typical of Central Coast grenache blanc, with a lemony squeeze from all of the higher-acid varieties. The flavors are golden, peach-scented, with roussanne seeming to give the wine its structure and emollient texture. It’s luxurious, and for the price, a steal.
