70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre
Since 2001, Villa Creek has been about blending. This year's cuvée combines three sites: Luna Matta, James Berry, and MAHA. This sexy beast is well appointed in its inky purple suit (think Prince in Purple Rain). The nose is intoxicating with plum, red fruits, wet limestone and local mountain herbs. Offering a generous portion of the above, it has a keen focus on the end game…to pair well with many types of cuisine and to make you look good when you bring it to a dinner party! This is a delicious wine that will make you happy. Drink 2019-2029
"Well-integrated aromas of black plum, mushroom, forest floor and lilac make for a stunning nose on this blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre from Cris Cherry. The flavors are also cohesive and unique, tossing roasted strawberry with savory touches of pepper dust and soy sauce." 94pts Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast
"Sleek and polished, with vibrant raspberry, grilled meat and licorice flavors that build richness toward refined tannins. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2029. 500 cases made." 93 pts - The Wine Spectator
