Tablas Creek 2014 Patelin de Tablas Blanc White (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Patelin de Tablas Blanc
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend California
Winery: Tablas Creek / Paso Robles

Light banana flambée, vanilla meringue and yellow-cake aromas show on the generous but not overbearing nose of this blend of 49% Grenache Blanc, 31% Viognier, 12% Roussanne and 8% Marsanne. The tropicality of the nose disappears on the palate, which is tart and grippy with green apple and Anjou pear flavors as well as a touch of melon and smoke.
