| Villa Creek Cellars is a small family winery specializing in blends of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Tempranillo. Cris and JoAnn Cherry started Villa Creek Cellars in 2001, with the intention of creating a house wine for Villa Creek restaurant. With kids Camille and Henri in tow, the Cherry's walked their first vineyards on the westside of Paso Robles and knew they had discovered a new passion in winemaking. The walnuts that currently dot the family's 70 acre Maha estate are slowly being removed and will someday house 10-20 acres of vineyard. 2006 will mark the inaguaral crush in a 3000 sq. ft. wine making facility recently completed on the estate. | Paso Robles, CA

2005 Mas de Maha
Simon and Hillary Graves continue to supply us with Tempranillo from their small, family Ohana vineyard on the east side of the Salinas River. James Berry and Denner Vineyard fruit ... more make up rest of the blend. Large yeilds and big flavors are the buzz words across the board for this vintage. The juicy Tempranillo grapes dripping with flavor and tannin comprise most of the blend. The wine was vinified in our standard fashion and barreled down almost dry to finish primary fermentation in barrel. The wine was aged fourteen months in 50% new wood comprised of half French and half American oak.
BLEND: 60% Ohana Vineyard Tempranillo, 25% Denner Grenache, 15% Denner Mourvedre
