Dave Phinney's Locations E3

Dave Phinney's Locations E3

From Spain

Description: 93 points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate:. "I reviewed these Locations offerings from Dave Phinney of Orin-Swift Cellars last year, who is going against all conventional wisdom of vineyard and vintage dating wines. Terroirists will claim the devil has possessed Phinney, as his offerings from France, Italy and Spain are all blends from different sectors of each country. If you judge wines on how they taste and the degree of pleasure they offer, they are all incredible efforts. The three new cuvees I tasted are among the finest wine values one could hope to find. Moreover, there are 50,000 cases of each, no easy feat given the grapes Phinney has accessed and the quality he has turned out. As of now, Dave Phinney might be my value winemaker of the year candidate. P.s. It's too expensive for this report, but I am including it as an hommage to what Dave Phinney has achieved. If there are better wines for under $20 a bottle in the world today, please share that information with The Wine Advocate. These are all remarkable efforts. Kudos to Dave Phinney! ". Grenache/Garnacha from Priorat, Tempranillo from Rioja, and Carignan/CariƱena from Ribera del Duero frame a perfectly balanced expression of what this dynamic wine producing land is all about. Extensive travel throughout the historic vineyard sites of the Iberian Peninsula with a keen eye on quality has led winemaker Dave Phinney to an eclectic and unconventional approach of blending fruit from various regions. By favoring rocky, hillside slopes with struggling vines, a network of prime sources to draw upon has been established. Unchained from traditional laws governing appellation and composition, Dave is allowed optimum creativity to focus on quality and stylistic advances in the bottle.
