OLG
OLG, or Our Lady of Guadalupe, is Dave Phinney's newest endeavouer (yes, that Dave Phinney of Orin Swift fame). But this is Dave Phinney 2.0, making wine for the first time from a California vineyard that he owns and farms, with more delicate wines that clock in at a uncharacteristic 14.8% alcohol. More importantly, the site of these wines is magical, quiclkly becoming the site du jour for some of the valley's most esteemed winemakers. Bordering Domaine de la Cote's Bloom's Field vineyard on the coolest, western edge of the Sta Rita Hills AVA, these wines have a natural depth and power that's truly uncommon.
