Villa Creek Grenache G James Berry Vineyard

This one was forgotten in the cellar. Time has not eliminated what others have noted. Fizzy, sour, undrinkable and right down the drain.

Both bottles I purchased were spoiled. This one undrinkable. Heavy with brett.

Forgot that I had seen this had issues and it was still in the cellar. Wife had opened for dinner. Fizzy but still had a nice nose. So about 5 minutes of vigorous shaking and then let it rest a while. Repeated one more time and the CO2 was mostly gone. Enjoyable enough with my spanish rice and sausage but still a bit sparkling. Definitely flawed.

Yup, it had lots of CO2, but at least no bret, the way my previous bottle of this wine had. That one went down the drain. This one was enjoyable, but spritzy to the end. (Editor's note: scored as 90 but changing to flawed)

My experience was similar to other posters, a flawed wine, which seemed to have some secondary fermentation? Carbonated with very sour fruit. I opened my second bottle that was equally flawed. I would encourage tasters with similar experience to contact the winery, as they would surely make things right. This is not indicative of any other VC wine I have had.

Carbonated and fruitless -- down the drain it went. Third flawed bottle in a row for CT drinkers...

Lots of CO2 (as much as beer), roasted aromas, ?secondary fermentation, ? VA. Definitely flawed.

Volatile Acidity. Decanting did not help.

Had with marinara risotto. Violated rule of not opening anything immediately after received. Opened and poured. Still was very good. Had the grenache musky and meaty flavors with a core that ran thru the back of the palate of menthol, tar, blueberries and blackberries. After a few minutes developed some smokiness. Needs some time to settle down, and 6 months or more in the cellar will also help. Excellent wine.
