A red wine from the Côtes Catalanes in southern France, blending 80% Grenache with 20% Syrah from vines over 60 years old. It is produced by Orin Swift Cellars, with winemaker Dave Phinney, and the 2016 vintage was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% of them new. The D66 name refers to Département 66, the Pyrénées-Orientales, where the fruit grows in black schist soils.
The nose is dark and dense, with ripe plum, cassis and candied violet, then dried lavender, garrigue and wet schist minerality, with dark chocolate and ground pepper. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with roasted plum, kirsch and boysenberry, black currant, licorice and Asian spice, plus crushed-rock minerality. The finish is long and muscular, with spiciness, leafy herbs and lingering dark chocolate.
