Saturated ruby-red. An expansive bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruit preserves, cherry cola, exotic spices and potpourri; vanilla and licorice accents emerge with air. Deeply concentrated, mineral- and spice-accented blueberry, kirsch and fruitcake flavors are complemented by a hint of candied violet. Broad and seamless in texture, finishing with superb, floral-driven persistence and fine-grained tannins that lend discreet grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2022)

Popped and poured. A touch reductive. After about 15 minutes of air this bottle was rocking good. Blue and red fruits. Gorgeous texture. Tannins were firm but reasonable. Long finish that lasted minutes.

Yes, please. Rich, concentrated raspberry with cloves, cocoa powder, and a chalky mouthfeel. Rich in body. Sumptuous is the word of the night here. Like gingerbread with raspberry sauce. #ahyeah #wine #villacreek #pasorobles #grenache #sommlife

Balanced, subtle Rhone red from Villa Creek. Great tannin/structure vs many of the flashy well scored jam in a wine bottle Syrah becoming Paso's calling card.
