Wine Review: Here is another exciting and terrific wine from Villa Creek. This deep purple wine has an intense and inviting bouquet. On the palate, this wine is smooth as silk. It is fruit packed, well balanced, and provides layers of flavors. The finish is quite extended and nicely dry. This is a terrific wine. Enjoy – Ken
