**Second Vintage of a new estate by Dave Phinney**
This vineyard was planted for and by Dave Phinney. It reflects his excruciating attention to detail. With a focus on showing the terroir of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dave Phinney is producing single-vineyard wines from the property starting with the 2021 vintage.
- Winemaker: Dave Phinney
- Farming: Sustainable
- Variety: 100% Pinot Noir from Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard. Clonal Selection: Pommard 4, 777, 459, 828, 115 and 667
- Terroir: Western edge of Sta. Rita Hills, sandstone, diatomaceous earth.
- Aging: French Oak for 13 months, 54% New. Cooperage Selection: Alain Fouquet, Francois Freres, Cadus and Ermitage.
- Tasting Note: A fluorescent ruby core and a flashing vermilion rim pour into the glass gracefully. Immediate aromatic complexities abound, rife with notes of black cherry, hibiscus, rose petal, a touch of strawberry, caramel apple and confectioner’s chocolate. The entry dances across the palate with framboise, pomegranate and baking spices, enhanced by the soft texture and ripples of acidity. The piquant finish continues the flow of energy as the acid brings together notes of amaro and black cherry, yet again.
- Scores: 93 Points - Antonio Galloni (Vinous) “The 2021 Pinot Noir Our Lady of Guadalupe is a rich, textured wine. Red/purplish fruit is super primary in its first impression. Rose petal, cedar and cinnamon are some of the notes that fill out the layers with a bit of coaxing. Readers will find an opulent, juicy wine, very much in keeping with Dave Phinneyʼs style. Aging is 13 months in French oak, 54% new. This is a terrific showing from Phinneyʼs new OLG label.”
