This is a fair representation of central coast grenache. Light, soft mouthfeel, somewhat muted but nice nose, flavors of cherry and candy apple, some spice, not a ton of tannin and medium-short finish, but smooth and pleasant. The 15.5% alc was not all that noticeable, to me.

Another lovely Villa Creek wine. Needed a 2 hour decant and just blossomed.

Richer than most Paso Grenache. More like a Spanish Grenache. Very tasty, lingering aftertaste, soft tannins. Lovely wine.

Good, but not memorable. I expect more from Villa Creek. Their wines are usually exceptional, this is a good wine.

If the 2013 smelled like candied fruit and the 2014 like juice, the 2015 is more like liqueur. On the palate, though, it is more muted than either.
