CELEBRATING DAVE’S 30TH HARVEST

30 YEARS

2025 CALIFORNIA RED

Thirty harvests have a way of shaping more than wine. Over the last three decades, Dave Phinney has followed curiosity wherever it led, building a career defined by creativity, risk-taking, and a refusal to do things the expected way. Created to commemorate his 30th harvest, 30 Years is a tribute to the vineyards, vintages, friendships, and experiences that made the journey possible.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

The 2025 30 Years has a gravity of its own – from the dark purple core and spectacular fuchsia rim to the opening ferrous aromatics of iron, ink and minerality that glide seamlessly into tones of bramble bush and wild strawberry. This is a wine without rivals. Notes of wild raspberry, blueberry jam, a hint of graphite and more ripe red fruit are highlighted by an unctuous flooding of the palate that gives way to grippy tannins that fold into the finish with a chiffon-like texture and lengthy close.
