Typically one of my favorites in the VC lineup. Good, but better closer to release. Alcohol starting to become prominent, and the fruit is losing freshness.

Big, juicy and wild Mourvedre fruit up front, not much on the mid palate, then glycerol and fumes on the finish. Not my jam, but I can see the appeal for lovers of the more full throttle style.

Rich earth and mushroom. Deep and thoughtful wine. Great with winter beef chili.

Still could have sat longer. Tasted beautiful. Rich and full. A little fade in the body after the start. One of my all time favorites from Villa Creek.

James Berry Vineyard is always performing well. Such a great representation of the varietal.

Generally love villa creek but this one doesn't do it for me. No fruit, spice or lift. Just some heft in the middle.

While I don't drink Mourvèdre often as a single varietal, I can appreciate the uniqueness to this offering. Has a lot of structure and tannins, even at 7 years old. Red fruit, more terroir than outright fruit.
