The only red wine I did not find exciting is the 2007 Tannat, an eccentric blend of 90% Tannat and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a deep ruby/purple-hued, austere, extremely tannic wine that undoubtedly gives the taster a higher amount of resveratrol than required for good cardiac health.(Not yet released)This Paso Robles outpost is owned by two Francophiles, Frenchman Francois Perrin (one of the owners of the Rhone Valley's Chateau Beaucastel) and Robert Haas (founder of the import company Vineyard Brands, and a pioneer importer of estate-bottled French wines). Seeking out steep limestone ridges near the Pacific Ocean, Tablas Creek was a work in progress for its first four to five years, but it has come on like gang-busters in the 21st century. The 2007s are unquestionably their finest wines to date, but readers should not overlook the excellent 2006s.Tel. (805) 237-1231; Fax (805) 237-1314
