Esprit Club
Now Accepting Registrations for Spring 2026

About the 2023 Esprit de Tablas
The Esprit Club continues in March 2026 with the 2023 Esprit de Tablas:
- Our flagship red blend, based on Mourvèdre, from our wettest-ever winter and our coolest growing season in more than a decade. Harvest was roughly a month later than most recent years (beginning in mid-September and not concluding until mid-November). Warm, sunny weather starting in October allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The exceptionally long hangtime and gradual ripening combined to produce fruit with deep colors, remarkable intensity, and noteworthy vibrancy. We believe 2023 has all the hallmarks of a blockbuster year.
- 96 points & #16 Top 100 Wines of 2025 Owen Bargreen, “Another stunning edition of this wine, the 2023 ‘Esprit de Tablas’ combines 33% Mourvèdre (compared to 40% in 2022) and 31% Syrah (compared to 22% in 2022) alongside 26% Grenache and small parts Cinsault, Vaccarese and Counoise. The heady aromatics entice as herbs de Provence, orange peel, white pepper dusted beef, and shades of oyster sauce all parade on the nose. The palate is fresh and rich with a terrific sense of texture and underlying verve. This might not be the most dense or heady edition of this wine, but the flavor complexity and freshness makes this simply irresistible to enjoy right now. Simply put, the novelty is astonishingly good as there might not be another wine quite like this in the world. Be sure to give this about an hour in the decanter if savoring now. Drink 2025-2040”
- 96 points & #43 Top 100 Wines of USA James Suckling, "Savory, well-spiced and meaty, showing plums and warm figs, sanguine flavors and black licorice. Outstanding posture and length with harmony between the scorched earth and blackberries, cherry pits and cured olives. Best after 2028 and
for the next several decades.”
- 96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, “The blend of the 2023 Esprit de Tablas is 33% Mourvèdre, 31% Syrah, 26% Grenache, 6% Cinsaut, 2% Vaccarèse and
2% Counoise, representing the closest percentage of the three main varieties in the cuvée's history. Poised and compelling from the outset, the nose seamlessly melds red and black fruits, fresh herbs and purple flower aromas with an underlying earth-tinged, petrichor quality. The palate is similarly multidimensional, dynamically delivering a suave yet snappy profile with juicy, mouthwatering acidity and palpable minerality that carries through the savory, refined finish.
This is a reference point for the region and should enjoy a solid 15 years in the cellar.”
The price of the shipment will be $675 (a 25% member savings off the list price of $900) plus applicable taxes and $10 shipping.
Spring 2026 Esprit Club shipments will be available for pickup soon.
