Villa Creek Cellars grew from the intent by Cris and JoAnn Cherry to make a house wine for their restaurant of the same name. Now they produce some of the most highly regarded, and rated, wines in Paso Robles. The Avenger is always our favorite of their delicious lineup - new release. previous vintage 92 Points Wine Spectator: "Exhibits an enticing mix of ripe berry, hot brick, white pepper and spice. Holds its focus through the finish, ending with a subtle earthiness. Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Drink now through 2021. 400 cases made."

Perhaps a little bit past it’s drinking age, but still a nice smooth GSM blend. Mellowed, but still hefty.

Beautiful deep Rhone blend distinctive of Paso fruit. Chewy tannin, velvety mouthfeel, gamey meat nose, white pepper, lovely minerality. Drinking fantastic now.
