Paso Robles, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
Packed with spicy, super-fresh flavors of wild strawberry, cherry, cassis, compote and red earth, this juicy, peppery red-fruited blend is what Paso Robles is all about!
“The 2023s here are spectacular, but I’m not surprised.”
- Vinous, June 2025
Offering a fantastic amount of purity and viticultural goodness, this organically grown blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Zinfandel and 10% Petite Sirah is like a great Southern Rhône red with a California flair. Selling for 1/3 to 1/4 the price of Villa Creek's reds, this palate pleasing blend is an absolute steal. The 93-Point review from Vinous is spot-on.
“The 2023 Farmhouse Red is a spicy, lifted effort, with citrus zest and sour cherries forming its inviting bouquet. Silken textures mingle with juicy acidity and mineral-inflected ripe red berry fruit, complicated by a hint of savory spice. The palate is left completely refreshed, with nuances of licorice and sage lingering long. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2030.”

2024 Villa Creek "Farmhouse White"
Paso Robles, California
~~~~~~~~~~~
Crafted by Cris Cherry and his son Henri, this dry Paso white is tons of fun. A super tasty combo of 32% Picpoul, 28% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Falanghina and 10% Pinot Grigio, it is overflowing with flavors of spicy orchard fruits, lemon, green apple, custard, river stones, and white pepper. Finishing with a lovely, tangy, thirst quenching goodness, this super delicious mash-up is the ultimate feel good summer white.
“The 2024 Farmhouse White wafts up from the glass with sweet chamomile and mint mixed with ripe apricots. The palate is soothingly round, contrasted by salty minerals and ripe orchard fruits, while a twang of citrus adds tension toward the close. It tapers off with lovely length and a pleasingly chewy sensation as a hint of sour melon fades. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2027.”
