Owen Bargreen: "Tablas Creek 'Esprit Blanc' Vertical Tasting"

In a new article, Owen Bargreen shares his notes from a vertical tasting of our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc and Esprit de Tablas Blanc that spanned from our first-ever 2001 to the not-yet-released 2023. From his introduction:

I had a chance to taste an epic range of ‘Esprit Blanc’ wines with CEO Jason Haas. We had some really impressive bottlings including one from their first vintage.
