2023 Muscardin Release

Press Release: Tablas Creek Vineyard Becomes First U.S. Winery to Bottle All 14 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grapes as Single-Varietal Wines

Tablas Creek Vineyard has announced the completion of a decades-long project: bottling all 14 traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties from the Château de Beaucastel collection as single-varietal wines. The final piece came this year with the debut of a varietal Muscardin, an extremely limited 25-case bottling that marks a first for any American winery.

This is an important milestone in the journey that began with the founding of Tablas Creek in 1989 as a partnership between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and American importer Robert Haas. Over the next three decades, Tablas Creek imported, propagated, and planted the grapes grown at Beaucastel, including nine new to the United States. The grapes, and the year in which they were first planted, are: Mourvedre (1994), Grenache (1994), Syrah (1994), Counoise (1994), Grenache Blanc (1994), Roussanne (1994), Picpoul Blanc (2000), Terret Noir (2010), Clairette Blanche (2010), Picardan (2013), Vaccarese (2016), Cinsaut (2016), Bourboulenc (2016) and Muscardin (2019).

In celebration of the community that made this achievement possible, Tablas Creek will debut the Muscardin at an industry event for wine and hospitality professionals from across San Luis Obispo County. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste all 14 single-varietal wines side by side in a first-of-its-kind experience designed to highlight the diversity and potential of Rhône varieties in California.

Tablas Creek's second-generation Proprietor, Jason Haas, had this to say about the accomplishment, "I can feel my dad smiling down at this landmark. People so often think of the Rhone grape varieties as ‘just blending grapes.’ But tasting them on their own, it’s clear that they’re more than that. Each one has its own distinctive personality. We are proud to have introduced so many of them to California viticulture, and to see millions of cuttings from those original mother vines in hundreds of vineyards up and down the West Coast."

New Release: 2024 Lignée de Tablas Fenaughty Blanc

We are so excited to share the newest release from Tablas Creek. Our 2024 Lignée de Tablas Fenaughty Vineyard Blanc is now available! This wine is the newest white wine released in the Lignée de Tablas collection. The Fenaughty Vineyard is a former pear orchard in the El Dorado AVA of the Sierra Foothills, which the Mansfield family has farmed since the 1970s and where they have planted a wide selection of Tablas Creek clones. The grapes are farmed organically and harvested by hand.

From our tasting notes: A nose of honey and brioche, herbal tea, spicecake, gardenia, and sweet cream butter. On the palate, mouth-filling with flavors of honeydew, guava, and preserved melon, medium body, and a wet rock minerality coming out on the finish. The wine ($40 list) is $32 per bottle for VINsiders. Limit 6.

Purchase yours in our online shop. Questions? Contact the orders team at orders@tablascreek.com or by calling 805.237.1231 x 236.

Piedmont Press: Tablas Creek Vineyard on The Wine Corner

Wine Columnist Pierre DuMont did a full feature on Tablas Creek in the wine section of the Piedmont Press! He gave lovely reviews of our current releases, including calling our 2023 Dianthus "lively and energetic", and our 2022 Esprit de Tablas "full-bodied, dense and deep". In the article, Pierre wrote one of the nicest things we have seen said about us:

Over the years, wineries have risen and fallen in quality. However, one constant remains: Tablas Creek, America’s finest producer of Rhone wines, stands above the competition.
