Villa Creek Avenger 2005

Posted by R Browne on July 24, 2009 at 20:28:30:

I was in Santa Barbara a couple of weeks ago and stopped in at The Winehound, a local store, to check out their selection. I happened upon a bottle of Villa Creek Avenger 2005, a Paso Robles 65% Syrah, 25% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache blend that coincidentally I had run across at the Los Olivos Cafe the previous day. Intrigued, as I am a sucker for Cali-Rhone style blends, I bought a bottle.

Wow! Some upfront fruit but this is a well integrated seamless blend that is as smooth as they come. A whopping 15.3% alcohol content that quickly blows off. Seriously good stuff that is recommended for those who like big California style red blends. RP rated 93 FWTW. I may have to cancel my cable to afford this on a regular basis.
