Locations F-7 by Dave Phinney French Red Wine 2017
Posted Oct 7, 2022
LOCATION WINES"David Phinney's location wines are always quite good. The French blend is true to his form. You never know what grapes comprise the blend other than the label saying grapes only from the finest vineyards. Regardless this is a can't miss wine to be enjoyed with or without food. Having food with it is preferred but you can get away with just having cheese and crackers."

SWIRL THE WINE"Swirl in your glass and you will get the dark berries, strawberry and leather aromas. The wine will settle with nice legs forming on the glass. This is a full bodied Grenache with a mouthful of flavor. The finish is long lasting and will stay with you longer than normal."

GREAT FOR PRICE"I go along with James Suckling 91 point review as opposed to Decanter's 95 points. It is as Suckling says "A chewy and juicy" wine. A great find regardless of reviewer."
