Balanced Cabernet Sauvignon from Dave Matthews, light with grape flavor and low acid and tannin, at Dirty Water Pizza Co. In Back Bay, Boston — 7 years ago
There's this like pink bubble gum flavor throughout (maybe this is Dave Matthews contribution?) but there great dry finish. Really interesting - would recommend. $12.34 from golden eagle — 8 years ago
Palermo from Orin Swift borrows its label, featuring a mummified Capuchin priest, from one of a series of images taken by National Geographic photographer Vincent J. Musi of 16th century Capuchin Catacombs. Four long limestone corridors underneath the Capuchin Church in Palermo, Sicily hold about 8000 mummies. After looking over the rest of Musi’s series, I’m surprised Dave Phinney didn’t create an entire line of wines using the images from this collection. Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Malbec and Merlot, and all from Napa Valley. Packed with extracted dark fruit, cassis, vanilla, cedar, and chocolate, the Palermo eschews nuance in the name of hedonism. — 8 years ago

He’s baaaack! Second Zinfandel Blend for Dave Phinney after his non-compete clause expired. Intense aromas of wild raspberries, figs and black pepper along with hints of fennel seed and Forrest Floor. Lush fruit on the pallet (blackberry, currant and plums) along with hints of minerals and fresh herbs. Tannins are in balance with the acidity. Interesting blend. — 4 years ago

Solid blend from Dave Coffaro. Zin, Cab, carignan, and Petite Sirah. Enjoyable young but will age nicely. Beautiful dark color, plenty of oak and bramble fruits. This was aged for 16 months in a barrel. This is a big, bold and balanced wine. Drink or hold. — 7 years ago
Excellent rich full body wine. Fantastic wine to relax with and kick back in the evening. Big fan of Scott’s wines — 7 years ago
2013. Full bodied. Hint of current, and a smooth after. — 8 years ago
Another great Dave Phinney wine, this more price approachable blend is really good. Fruit forward, berries, vanilla and some aniseed flavours. This 'lesser' wine knocks many more expensive competitors off their podiums. Glad to have found it. — 8 years ago
From Corsica, an island south of France and west of Italy. The grape is vermentino. Mineral nose, slight hint of flowers, can't tell the fruit... maybe pear, yellow apple. Excellent wine for under $20 price. I am in love with Corsica! — 9 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, licorice, spices, coffee, tobacco, mocha, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn and herbs.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco leaf, spices, oak, licorice, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn and dark coffee.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
This is a very tasty red blend from Spain from the house of Dave Phinney. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel and mild complexity.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and gets more structure.
Easy drinking and a good everyday wine.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Founded in 1988 by Dave Miner, president of Oakville Ranch Vineyards, along with his wife Emily and his parents, Ed and Norma. Gorgeous light Ruby on the pour, ample red fruit aromas with oaky spice notes. Palate has big cherry and sweet red plum flavors, cacao and cinnamon spice with balanced oak. Rich full soft tannins lingering finish ending with herb character. Very Nice! Went well with a Halibut Livornese. — 8 years ago
