VINTAGE: 2011 WINERY:Tablas creek
COUNTRY: United States REGION: Paso
Robles
BODY: Medium
Full
VARIETAL:Mourvedre
Made predominantly from mourvedre. The Esprit de Beaucastel is delicious and unusually approachable right now, with a complex nose of red plum, ripe cherry, fresh figs and candied orange peel, a velvety, layered palate with spicy plum and cherry fruit, pepper and nutmeg spices, and excellent breadth. The finish shows more mineral, plum, and spice, and a little gentle oak from the foudre aging. It is delicious now, if very young, and should evolve elegantly in bottle for 10-15 years or longer.
