Tablas Creek, Paso Robles (California) Rosé 2006

Celebrate the last days of summer with this delicious dry rose from one of California's leading "Rhone Ranger" wineries. Tablas Creek, a partnership between the Perrin family of Chateau Beaucastel in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and their long-time American importer, Robert Hass, specializes in Rhone grapes and wines. This blend of mourvedre, grenache, and counoise resembles a top-notch rose from Provence, though it has added appeal because tastes even richer, with more weight on the palate and a broader array of flavors.
