2024 Panoplie (En Primeur)
It looks like there was a problem contacting the store. Please try reloading your browser. If the problem persists try contacting us at orders@tablascreek.com
Panoplie is our elite Mourvèdre-based cuvée, made in the model of Château de Beaucastel's Hommage à Jacques Perrin and selected from the top 5% of lots that come into the cellar each vintage.
In 2024, we chose three exceptional lots of Mourvèdre to represent 58% of the wine. We then added two powerful lots of Syrah (20%) and one glorious lot of Grenache (22%). The resulting Panoplie allows the purity of the Mourvèdre fruit to shine. It should be great whether you choose to lay it down or enjoy it in its youth. Drink over the next 25-30 years.

Tasting Notes
A warm and inviting nose of sarsaparilla, baker's chocolate, plum pudding, and hoisin. On the palate, plush with flavors of cassis and meat drippings, milk chocolate and elderberry. The licorice-laced finish lingers. Luscious and showy while still elegant.

Production Notes
The 2024 vintage began with our second consecutive wet winter, giving the vines good reserves for the growing season. After a normal budbreak and a cool first half of the summer, those reserves were tested by our warmest-ever July and above-average temperatures through October. That led to a compressed harvest that was largely done by the second week of October and yields roughly 20% below our long-term averages. The low yields and warm year combined to produce fruit with intense flavors and noteworthy vibrancy.
The grapes for our Panoplie were grown on our biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyard.
The grapes were fermented using native yeasts in a mix of 1500-gallon wooden upright fermenters, open-top tanks and closed stainless steel fermenters. After pressing, the wines were moved into barrel and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation. The Panoplie was selected from the vintage's best lots and blended in May 2025, and has been aging in 1200-gallon French oak foudres ever since. We expect to bottle the wine in August 2026.
