Nose of rose, strawberry and just a little prunes (but not enough to detract from the wine). Palate showed strawberries, backing spices and some cedar. Fruit brightened as the wine breathed. Very nice.

What a night and day difference versus the 8 other Spanish Tempranillo or Mourvedre based wines for under $20. While those wines had a chalky, briar like components, the Villa Creek Mas de Maha had wonderful fruit on both the nose and finish. A nice combination of fruit and spicy, pepper. It helped saved the evening, though I wish I had another bottle left for a future tasting!
