I pulled this to compare to the Azimuth.
Nice mix of cranberry, cherry, plum, and blueberry. Full body disguised by the lively fresh acidity. Good fruit intensity and sense of purity. Supple tannins. Long smooth finish.
Templeton Gap is in general considered the coolest sub-appellation, and Willow Creek sits immediately N/NW of Templeton Gap with higher elevation. I think the composition of the varieties has more to do with the differences of the 2 bottles than geographic. More Grenache in this bottle.
