A gift from Cris Cherry when I was out in Paso for my 50th birthday (which was an AWESOME celebration thanks to my wife and some dear friends who mean everything to me), this is the first Villa Creek that I ever had (at Cris' restaurant). Amazed at the intensity of the fruit still present (maybe a function of the screwcap?), this wine was way more impressive than I was expecting for a 12+-year-old wine. Definitely past peak but still boasting terrific flavors and balance, this is a great example of why Paso is the most exciting wine region to explore in California! — 9 years ago

Earthy nose, almost European. Big and brawny on the palate with dark plum, pencil lead, tar. Delicious and drinking right in the zone! — 9 years ago

This is a very good - but not great - incarnation of Cris Cherry's take on grenache. Gets the fruit from Denner, I believe, this wine had an odd component on the initial nose that actually reminded me of a beaujolais nouveau (i.e., the carbonic maceration component). That dissipated after ca. 20 minutes to reveal some terrific red and blue fruits on the palate. There's sufficient acidity to keep it moving, so I suspect that it will shed some baby fat over the next 1-2 years and become far more interesting. A good wine now that's fun to drink but one that will likely improve with a bit of time (but not too much time!). — 10 years ago

We bought this wine on our first trip to Paso in 2010 with the Kennedy's. It was hot and we tasted in Chris Cherry's barn tasting room. We also had dinner in his restaurant that night in Paso(Osso Bucco, I think with a CDP). This wine is still amazing, a fruit bomb even at years 12 old. Almost sweet, but also subtle. Glad that we will be going back this fall. By the way it's a screw top wine. — 8 years ago
