Tonight was "leftovers" night while watching Monday Night Football, so I picked this very drinkable wine from the cellar. It is from Tablas Creek Winery, located just outside Paso Robles on the California Central Coast. Tablas Creek is a partnership of France's Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas. They imported all the vines from France to grow the great Rhône varietals here in California.
The 2004 Côtes de Tablas wine is a blend of four of those varietals: Grenache, Syrah, Counoise and Mourvedre. It has a juicy, berry nose of currants, raspberries, licorice and spice. The mouth is full of rich, sweet Grenache fruit showing good acidity and a long finish laced with licorice.
