This California red blend from Dave Phinney is always tasty especially when you pair it with rib eye.
Big bold and very fruity. Full bodied with medium minus acidity.
Showing black fruits with lots of chocolate notes.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Might be too sweet for some.
I cellard this Non Vintage for a couple of years, and it is drinking nicer now than before.
15.5% alcohol by volume.

Nose of a malbec with oaky spice and deep ruby berry. Hints of tobacco and clove. Tasty. Just like the nose!

This was awesome. Definitely my favorite of the "Locations" wines I've tried so far. Very complex, ultra silky smooth, cool, deep berry flavors. Would definitely buy again for a special occasion as it's a little pricey

15.5% red blend from California. Immensely big with black cherry, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, licorice, and boysenberry. Great price for a Dave Phinney wine at $25

Medium + body. Medium tannin. Dark fruits. Varietals not what you'd think from California. 7.5
