ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "Villa Creek’s proprietor Chris Cherry has an energy about him while speaking with a wisdom that seems beyond his years. The wines follow suit. These offerings are deeply seductive, sometimes sultry, yet finessed and vibrant to the core. The Villa Creek wines are made from fruit sourced throughout Paso Robles, and focus on Rhône varieties, with a well-measured use of new oak, typically between 10-25%. Production is relatively small, and pricing is incredibly fair for what’s placed into the bottle."
"The 2021 Rocks & Flowers wafts up with a Grenache-driven bouquet with wild strawberries, sweet florals and spice. Round and juicy in character, this impresses with a reverberation of zesty acidity that adds wild energy as ripe raspberry fruits cascade throughout. It finishes crisp and fresh, only gently tannic, while calling the taster back to the glass."
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "I also loved the 2021 Rocks & Flowers, a juicy, more fruit-forward effort that bas both red and black fruits, some peppery, meaty, graphite notes, medium to full body, and a great finish."
