L’Usine, Annapolis Ridge Pinot Noir

A dark crimson red core with a purplish rim. The bouquet shows aromatics such as white pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, pine resin and crème de menthe. The palate is dominated by vibrant acidity, the mid-palate explores characteristics of rhubarb, savoury and a hint of wild strawberry with a long finish indicative of graceful structure and depth.

Andy Warhol’s iconic studio, 'the factory', was a gathering place for drag queens, rock stars, and brilliant artists. Inspired by his studio, L'Usine translates to 'the factory' in French. The name paying tribute to those who desire something against the grain. Dave, honouring his rebel within, created a portfolio for the 'Warhol’s' of the world. L'Usine is Dave Phinney’s continued passion and journey to master Pinot Noir. Sourced from some of the best vineyards he chooses in any given vintage, these wines express the artistry of the winemaking process. To honour the rebel within, the front labels display art rather than displaying the grape variety or its origin which is typical in this category. The labels speak to the 'Warhol's' of the world and reflect the personality of each bottle.
