Decanter: Summer Sipping: The Fresh White Wine Revolution in Paso Robles

In a recent Decanter feature, wine writer Brianne Cohen explores how a dedicated group of producers in Paso Robles is challenging the region's reputation for powerhouse reds by crafting fresh, food-friendly white wines.

The article highlights our historic role in this movement, noting that Tablas Creek has been a pioneer in the "lighter side" of Paso Robles since our inception in 1989, with our Rhône-style whites consistently earning critical and commercial success.

Our 2024 Vermentino was featured as one of the top ten fresh summer whites, earning a 92-point rating. The author praised its bright, precise character:

"This New World-style Vermentino from Tablas Creek offers a nose of bright lemon and hints of tropical fruits, such as passion fruit and pineapple. On the palate, phenolic texture adds interest, while vibrant, searing acidity combines with a saline mineral note to create a refreshing, palate-cleansing experience. The wine’s bright, precise character makes it an ideal companion for light seafood or grilled vegetables."

Austin Chronicle: "Weekend Wine: Tablas Creek's Patelin de Tablas Rouge"

We are pleased to share a recent feature in the Austin Chronicle titled "Weekend Wine: Tablas Creek's Patelin de Tablas Rouge," which highlights our Patelin de Tablas as a standout for its balance and approachability.

The article notes that the wine successfully bridges the gap between Old World elegance and New World accessibility, offering restraint and food-friendliness rather than the high-power profile often associated with California reds. The Chronicle specifically recommends pairing this Syrah-driven blend with dishes like a rack of lamb with a mustard crumb coating and chimichurri to allow both the wine and the meal to shine.

The Patelin de Tablas Rouge is consistently recognized as a high-value selection that showcases the quality of fruit sourced from our neighboring vineyards in Paso Robles.
