Villa Creek Cellars High Road James Berry Vineyard Mourvedre Blend 2019
97 points - limited A fantastic Rhone Blend from Villa Creek cellars, sourced from Saxum's james Berry vineyard. Limited. 97 Points Jeb Dunnuck:"Looking at the barrel sample, the 2019 High Road James Berry Vineyard sports a dense purple color to go with terrific aromatics of dark fruits, ground pepper, game, and liquid violets. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, it has freshness, purity, and loads of class...I continue to love the wines from JoAnn and Cris Cherry, and these latest 2019s are brilliant across the board. These are pure Paso Robles goodness and deliver incredible charm and pleasure while always staying balanced and elegant." 96 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented black/blue fruit and floral oil aromas pick up exotic spice and pipe tobacco nuances with air. Fleshy, juicy and impressively concentrated, offering ripe boysenberry, black raspberry, cherry liqueur and violet pastille flavors that tighten up steadily on the back half. Densely packed yet energetic as well, finishing with resonating florality, gently gripping tannins and superb persistence."

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)
