Tablas Creek Can Now Ship to Oklahoma!

We can now ship to Oklahoma! It's been a long process, begun by Oklahoma residents who passed a state ballot measure to open up their market to wine deliveries in 2016. Since then, the legislation has been ironed out by the state government and we have received our shipping permit and, just this week, our required Tax ID number.

Oklahoma residents can now sign up for one of our wine clubs, and anyone can order wine to be delivered into the state. Cheers!

Tablas Creek Highlights a Decanter Cover and Article on California Rhones

We were excited to see our 2016 Esprit de Tablas featured in (and appearing on the cover of) Britain's most venerable wine magazine, Decanter. The 2016 Esprit was picked out as one of their favorites, receiving a 93 point rating and the text:

"A collaboration founded in 1989 between the Perrins of Château de Beaucastel and Robert Haas of Vineyard Brands that had me thinking this Mourvedre-dominant blend was Châteauneuf – it has a natural swell of voluminous fruit, but a savoury demeanour. Gentle, unforced plum, damson and blackberry aromas, rounded, juicy and ample on the palate, generous cool fruits and puppy fat. Good sense of balance and purity. Long and satisfying. Biodynamic."
