Grand Cru Wine Merchants

A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre, the 2005 Willow Creek Cuvee reveals a deep ruby color followed by a big, smoky, licorice, kirsch liqueur, plum, and soy-scented perfume. Medium-bodied and complex with loads of fruit, it comes across like a Paso Robles version of a French Chateauneuf du Pape. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years. -90pts WA
