Sourced from the MAHA Estate, a regenerative and Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, this wine is a masterclass in west-side intensity. Perched between 1,500 and 1,800 feet on steep, limestone-rich slopes, the \"Backlit\" cuvée is a Syrah-led blend (comprising 33% Syrah, 26% Petite Sirah, 18% Mourvèdre, 16% Carignan, and 7% Grenache in 2020). Winemaker Cris Cherry utilizes native yeast fermentation in concrete tanks and ages the wine for 22 months in French oak (30% new) to craft a red that balances Paso’s natural opulence with a surprising mineral \"nerve.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are seeking a premier gift for a lover of bold California reds or a high-scoring masterpiece (96 Points, Wine Enthusiast; 94 Points, James Suckling) to pair with herb-crusted lamb, smoked brisket, or a rich wild mushroom ragu, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 14.8% ABV expression of Adelaida District terroir brought directly to your door.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and succulent, delivering a concentrated core of dark fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins and a long, energetic finish that showcases the unique vibrancy of the MAHA limestone soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy Villa Creek MAHA Backlit 2020 Now!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Villa Creek Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48160414925050,"sku":null,"price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/9632\/1098\/files\/2020VillaCreekCellarsMahaBacklit750ml.png?v=1766766021","url":"https:\/\/vsliquor.com\/products\/2020-villa-creek-cellars-maha-backlit-750ml","provider":"VS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
