2020 Villa Creek Cellars Maha Understory 750ml

Experience the raw, high-elevation soul of the Adelaida District with the 2020 Villa Creek Cellars MAHA "Understory" 750ml at VS Liquor. This estate-grown blend is a profound expression of the Cherry family's commitment to the land, sourced from their Demeter-certified Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic MAHA Estate. The "Understory" is primarily a Grenache-based blend, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre, named for the aromatic wild herbs and brush that thrive beneath the canopy of the surrounding oak forests. The 2020 vintage in Paso Robles produced wines of incredible concentration and structural depth. By utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in neutral French oak and concrete, winemaker Cris Cherry preserves the vibrant, "electric" acidity and savory mineral core that defines this limestone-rich terroir.

Whether you are seeking a thoughtful gift for a fan of artisanal California reds or a high-scoring masterpiece (96 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate; 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck) to pair with herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or smoked duck breast, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 14.5% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant, translucent ruby color. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and perfumed, offering aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and hibiscus, layered with notes of cracked black pepper, sage, and a signature flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and incredibly energetic, delivering a concentrated core of red fruit framed by "lace-like" tannins and a long, savory finish that reflects the wild beauty of the MAHA hillside.
