About the Wine
The 2023 Tablas Creek Vineyard Counoise is Tablas Creek’s fourteenth varietal bottling of this traditional blending grape from the Southern Rhone. The Counoise grape has an unusual combination of vibrant blue and purple fruit (blueberries and cranberries), sweet spice (nutmeg and cinnamon), light-to-medium body, bright acidity, ruby color, and soft tannin.
Tasting Notes
A luscious nose of lemon drop, passion fruit, sea spray and sweet green herbs. The palate has mouth-filling texture, with flavors of gooseberry and crystallized pineapple and a focused saline mineral note that lingers into the long finish, underpinning additional notes of tropical fruit and jasmine-like florality. Drink now and over the next few years.
