"The 2010 Trovador is an unusual blend of Syrah and Carignane. Tar, licorice, melted road tar and savory herbs all add complexity to a core of dark red/blackish fruit. This is one of the more structured wines in the Villa Creek range. Although some rough edges remain, I imagine the 2010 will come together a little more fully with more time in bottle. I especially like the sense of vibrancy here. The 2010 is 50% Syrah and 50% Carignane fermented with 50% whole clusters."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
