Tablas Creek, Paso Robles, Cotes de Tablas Red 2012 Shiraz warm raisin and toffee hints92 Vinous The 2012 Ctes de Tablas is wonderfully lifted and floral in the glass. Sweet red toned fruit, crushed flowers, mint and anise are some of the notes that inform a weightless, feminine wine built on silkiness. The 2012 is impeccably balanced and classy to the core. The 2012 is quite a bit brighter and more floral than the 2011, partly the result of the higher percentage of Grenache in the blend, but also a reflection of the year. (AG) 07 2014
