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. The 2001 ‘Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc’ White Wine (OB, 95) is still going strong and has at least five to seven years left. Marvelously complex and round, this is a tremendous effort. I love the new edition of this wine, the otherworldly 2023 Tablas Creek ‘Esprit Blanc’ White Wine (OB, 97) which is without a doubt one of the great white wines that you will taste on the West Coast.
