White Rhone-style blends have never quite gained the notoriety they deserve, particularly when they are crafted by the team at Tablas Creek. The 2017 Cotes de Tablas shows Tablas at its blending best, featuring Viognier, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne in a delicious example of the genre. Notes of peach, honeysuckle and spice dominate this suave white with impressive length on the finish.
