Dave Phinney's

No. 9


Napa, Sonoma, California
Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
 

Another bold blend from 2019's Winemaker of the Year Dave Phinney,
the Californian who launched “The Prisoner” and a dozen other cult wines. 

90 Points James Suckling

“A rich and rather dense red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors.
Full and layered with velvety tannins and a medium chewy finish. Plenty of chocolate to the fruit character. “

Our Thoughts on this wine.... 
Dark ruby red in the glass, the wine bursts with atempting perfume of red and black fruits, dried rose petals, and a hint of a peppery note. Dense and ripe upon the first pass, it evolves into a savory mash of raspberry, kirsch, coco powder and bitter cherry balanced out with mineral and herbal notes. The finish is substantial with good acidity and polished tannins that please the palate.

Locations in their words…

In the world of wine there are compelling Locations that exist where soil, climate andvines interact to produce grapes that uniquely express their Location through wine. Our love of wine recognizes the nuances of time and place that combine and interact to represent location. These Locations exist individually within appellations of the new and old world, but are seldom combined across appellation, in the art of blending due to laws and restrictions that make it near impossible to express true winemaking freedom.
 
In Champagne, across appellation blending is a time honored and respected tradition – a tried and true method for producing a premium and consistent wine that represents the best aspects of the Champagne region. Why can’t this concept be taken wider – across country?
Why do the rules not allow this? Why are these rules accepted?
 
But what if it could be done. What if one could blend across all of the major appellations, to produce a wine that represented a country of origin? What if one could do this across all of the major wine producing regions of the world. What if there were no rules? What if one had complete freedom to express whatever one believed. Could it be done?
 
The question is – do you break the rules, and thousands of years of history and tradition, in pursuit of expressing freedom?

WE BELIEVE SO.
