Tablas Creek Vineyard

Where French Rhône mastery meets California innovation, Tablas Creek Vineyard transforms 135 acres of limestone-rich Paso Robles terroir into America's most authentic expression of Southern Rhône varietals. This pioneering estate stands as the definitive benchmark for New World Rhône wines, combining Old World heritage with sustainable viticulture practices that have redefined premium winemaking in California's Central Coast.

Founded in 1989 through a visionary partnership between the legendary Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and American wine importer Robert Haas, Tablas Creek represents a revolutionary approach to varietal authenticity. The estate imported original Rhône vine cuttings directly from Beaucastel, establishing the first true genetic library of premium Rhône varietals in America. Under winemaker Neil Collins' expert guidance, this commitment to authenticity extends from vineyard to cellar, where traditional techniques merge with cutting-edge sustainable practices to create wines of exceptional character and longevity.

Tablas Creek's flagship Esprit de Tablas represents the pinnacle of American Châteauneuf-du-Pape style blending, combining Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise into a wine of remarkable complexity and aging potential. The estate's Patelin de Tablas offers accessible luxury, while single-varietal bottlings showcase the pure expression of Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. Each wine reflects the estate's biodynamic farming philosophy and minimal-intervention winemaking, earning consistent critical acclaim and establishing Tablas Creek among California's most collectible producers. Limited production and meticulous attention to terroir expression ensure these wines command premium positioning in the luxury market.
