DONOTUSE Pierre Brecht Riesling 2015 2016

The estate was founded in 1989 by California wine legend Robert Haas and France's renowned Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel, i.e. the most famous Châteauneuf of all). The partners chose Paso Robles, as the region’s hilly, rugged terrain and brilliant wash of sunshine is perfect for Rhône grapes like Syrah. The Perrins were so reminded of home, they decided to plant some Beaucastel vine cuttings here. Nearly 30 years later, Tablas Creek has been established as one of THE names in Paso Robles, making wines that achieve huge (well-deserved) success.

Your Syrah was aged 10 months in French oak barrels (what else?) and boasts seductive aromas and flavors of blackberries, plums and black cherry, with hints of mineral, smoke and baking spices. A fantastic match for peppery steaks, game meats (we like elk sirloin), chunky vegetarian stews, and more.

It’s a serious honor to bring you a taste of Tablas Creek – we can’t recommend their wines highly enough. Hurry for yours (strictly first come, first served).
