Description







Enjoy this delicious duo of its 2010 D66 Grenache blend and 2013 China Doll Grenache rose. The 2010 D66 "tantalizes the olfactory and taste buds so much so that I am afraid this writing will not do it justice." From the incredibly talented Dave Phinney is an unreal example of old vine Grenache at the highest level. If it were produced in Châteauneuf du Pape it would sell for twice and even three time the price. From an excellent vintage in the Côtes du Roussillon, the 2010 D66 is a mind-blowing expression of Grenache that is heavily concentrated but with a level of freshness that keeps everything well-proportioned. And with the recent "rise of rosé," you'll love this China Doll! Despite the growth and popularity of Orin Swift Cellars, this winery continues to operate as a small, passionate team of friends and family dedicated to making great wine.  "He's the man, the man with the Midas touch."... In the sense that everything he touches turns to gold. Perhaps never before have we seen such a perfect storm of quality grapes, expert winemaking (Dave was made wine for Opus One, Whitehall and Mondavi) and slick packaging. www.orinswift.com. Generously donated by Orin Swift Cellars, St. Helena.
