I Red by Locations. Soft red in color, highly extracted. Plum, vanilla, cola notes in nose. Similar flavors, fairly tannic. Good table wine

Smokey plummy nose. Rosey, light-bodied oaky and cheese-philic. Mouth-drying stringency on the finish. Like the E5, I must revisit this Phinney delight in crystal, step it up from this shit hotel water vase. Yet it still uplifts a long day of work on the road.

Locations from Orin Swift. Italian blend, I get Nebiolo, Sangiovese, possibly Amarone. Opened up wonderfully! Good food pairing wine!

One of the location series that many love.
Had to give it a try.

What a Beautiful color of dark ruby with a wide garnet rim.

Great nose with wild flowers, blueberries, strawberries, unripe cherries, asparagus, bell pepper and peppercorn.

Dry and spicy on the palate with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, plums, red currants and black pepper.

Medium + in body with nice legs.

Long finish with soft, but grippy tannins (after 2 hours in the decanter) And black pepper.

Nice wine but not my taste. Better with food. I enjoyed it better with goat cheese.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Pleasantly surprised, spice and very balanced.

Nice wine. Strong fruit after it opens up. A little disappointing compared to their other wines. I was hoping for a bigger, more robust Italian red.

Inky dark and displaying dark flavors on the palate, probably from the Negro Amaro that is blended into it. I like this one the best of the Location Series, but still I don't like it all that much.
