Orin Swift Department 66 'D66' is an exceptional wine crafted by renowned winemaker Dave Phinney in the unique landscape of Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Captivated by the region's scenic beauty, Phinney embarked on this adventure after a single visit in 2008. The estate spans 120 hectares and hosts vines averaging over sixty years old, predominantly Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache Gris. The result is powerful wines with an unmistakable style, characterized by intense aromas, remarkable density, and incredibly rich flavors. The Grenache D66, in particular, boasts a dark and dense appearance, with concentrated notes of ripe plum, cassis, violet, and wet slate, and the region's distinctive mineral essence. The wine is elegantly supported by soft tannins, imparting a refreshing quality.
