Well, I am already a big fan of Villa Creek, although I don't necessarily fall in love with every wine they produce.
Had a tasting of it at the winery and later opened a bottle the next evening.

Very rich fruity nose with hints of toasted wood and bramble. Very rich fruit expression on the palate with abundant berries, kirsch, hints of olives, pencil lead, and peet.
Still needs to integrate, but one thing impressed me was an extremely long and very pleasant fruit rich finish in the front palate that made this wine very enjoyable.

Had it with an Italian dinner chicken sorrentino pasta dish and it matched quite well. Delish.

My rating: 92-95!
