Tablas Creek Vineyard

Tablas Creek Vineyard sits in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, growing Rhône varieties since 1989 as a partnership between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Haas family of Vineyard Brands. Tablas Creek imported eighteen grape varieties from Beaucastel, nine new to California, propagating them through its own nursery before planting its Adelaida District vineyard.

The portfolio follows that Rhône framework — Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise for the reds; Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, and Picpoul Blanc for the whites — as both single-varietal bottlings and estate blends. The flagship is Esprit de Tablas (red and blanc), successor to the wines once labeled Esprit de Beaucastel; Panoplie, En Gobelet, Le Complice, and Dianthus draw on the same estate fruit in different proportions. Côtes de Tablas and the negociant-style Patelin de Tablas extend the Rhône approach across the wider Paso Robles appellation.
