Locations I Red Blend

Locations I by Dave Phinney is an Italian red blend made from Negroamaro, Nero d’Avola and Barbera. The wine has aromatic notes of black cherry, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, balsa, and evergreen. The silky smooth entry is met with a textured mid-palate of velvety fig, blueberry jam, and soft oak. The finish has a hint of sea salt and fades out slowly.

Tasting Notes

Locations I-2 Italian Red Wine is composed of Nero DAvola and Negroamaro from Puglia, Barbera from Piedmont, and a small percentage of Sangiovese from Tuscany. It receives vinification in large oak and spends ten months in barrel prior to bottling. It displays more acidity than the French cuvee, along with notes of wild herbs, licorice, tomato skins, black olives, red and black currants, cherries, barbecue spice and burning embers. This serious, medium to full-bodied, tasty, distinctive wine can be consumed over the next several years.
