Haven't been a big fan of Villa Creek but this bottle is the first step in changing my mind. Quite large, pitch dark coloring and viscous, had to brush my teeth twice. Flavor and finish pleasing to the palate and decent balance.

Medium ruby in color. Blackberry, cherry, pepper and tobacco on the nose. Flavors of blackberry, cherry and tobacco. Long finish. Pronounced tannins and a backbone of acidity suggest this bottle was consumed way too young.

A deep dark cherry is balanced well with acidity. Some lingering tanins in the end.

Grenache on the big side, bursting with dark fruit and spice.

Peppery, bolder than most Grenaches - big, but good.

Nice soft wine. Perfect alternative to a pinot.

Big flavor. I have not had Villa Creek in a while and I was very impressed. Fully body, great flavors and a nice finish!

Strawberries and spice on the nose. Bright fruit on the palate. Still you so it needed a little time to open up but worth the wait.

Still a baby, this one has good structure and a bit of a tannic edge. Should improve from here over the next several years.
