Esprit Club
Now Accepting Registrations for Spring 2024
In March 2020, we launched a new club for collectors of our flagship Esprit de Tablas wines. Each year, members of the Esprit Club get a case of our current release of Esprit de Tablas, at a club-only 25% discount and $10 flat-rate shipping included.
This club is available as a stand-alone club, or as an addition to VINsider Wine Club/Collector's Edition membership. Joint VINsider/Esprit members receive a case discount and no-charge shipping included on their spring VINsider shipments as well.

About the 2021 Esprit de Tablas
The Esprit Club continues in March 2024 with the 2021 Esprit de Tablas:
- Our flagship red blend, based on Mourvedre, from an outstanding year across the board. The wines all show concentration and structure, yet with purity and expressiveness. A candidate for our greatest-ever vintage.
- 95 points Decanter, "The Esprit line features flagship blends from the best lots on Tablas Creek's organic-certified estate vineyard, which is farmed according to the principles of regenerative viticulture. An earthy nose with brighter highlights, floral violet aromas and fresh blackberry fruits. The palate shows equal parts fruit and spice: a well-balanced, very drinkable red Rhone blend that is the benchmark for this style in Paso. Drink 2023-2041"
- 95-97 points Vinous, “A perfumed blend of dusty rose, raspberry, lavender and wet stone forms an inviting bouquet as the 2021 Esprit de Tablas comes to life in the glass. It washes across the palate with juicy waves of ripe red and blue fruit, leaving a mineral staining in their wake. A primary concentration combines with sweet tannins, creating perfect punctuation for the experience. The 2021 Esprit de Tablas is built for the cellar.”
- 96 points BevX, "Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of bramble and five spice with supporting notes of black currant, saddle leather, and cocoa nibs. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black plum, elderberry, black tea, garrigue, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a meaty yet nimble texture. Made with a blend of 35% Mourvèdre, 26% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 7% Vaccarese, 5% Cinsaut, and 4% Counoise."
The price of the shipment will be $630 (a 25% member savings off the list price of $840) plus applicable taxes and $10 shipping.
Spring 2024 Esprit Club shipments will ship out the week of March 18th unless you make other arrangements with us.
