2019 L'Usine (David Phinney) Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills

Winemaker Notes:  L’usine is the French word for “The Factory.” It is an homage to all the Warhols of the world. All those with disdain for the status quo of a defined or insinuated model. All of those with the defiant nature shared by artists and winemakers past and present. Pablo Picasso said it best: "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." I want to be a thief. - David Phinney

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir has lush aromas of black cherries, blueberries and cranberries, with nuances of flint, charcuterie, underbrush and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is silky and seamless, with appealing layers of earth, spice and mineral character on the long finish. "
