As one can expect for a Dave Phinney wine, this is rich and ripe, but it has so much more to offer at year 14. Blueberry, fig, tobacco, cracked pepper, dried mushroom, and slight hint of barnyard. On the palate it’s juicy yet soft and ultra smooth. The finish is long, candied, and earthy.
My 2nd and last bottle. At its peak.

Aug 11th, 2023Broken cord, so I double decanted it.
Ripe, earthy and a bit medicinal. Then red fruits came to life the 2nd day. Balance and well integrated acidity and tannins. At its peak, but will have staying power for 3-4 years.
