Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

History dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer & went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, & got hooked. A Grenache, Syrah & Petite Sirah blend. Aromas of fresh ripe red fruits with floral & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry & raspberry with cacao & espresso notes on sweet savory soft tannins, well balanced, lingering finish ending with fruit & toasty oak. Nice! Consistent Quality! — a month ago

Very nice, balanced, medium bodied. Stone fruit and a spicy middle, a little oak and a little funk. — 2 months ago

At a tasting at the impressive Antinori facility outside of Florence. 90% Sangiovese, 10% other red Tuscan varietals Brief notes. Red cherries and soil; young and tannic. Spotlessly made in this state of the art facility. Delectable: This is the DOCG Riserva - not available in your database. 10 weeks later on 8th November 2023 this wine was voted #7 in Wine Spectators Top 100 of 2023. — 8 months ago

So long since I’ve had a Rockpile wine and loved this!! Black and green pepper along with dark berries (raspberry and blackberry). An excellent jam flavor that just fits so well with bbq ribs. — 3 years ago
