Chardonnay Brumaire is named after the fog that affects the climate in the vineyards of the Russian River Valley. The rigorous selection of grapes for this Chardonnay is the basis for a complex, structured wine. Gorgeous golden color, with aromas of lime pie and citrus zest, complemented by baking spices. Very juicy acidity leads to a long elegant finish.

One day Dave Phinney went to Florence for a semester, where he fell in love with wine. Upon his return back to California, he worked in the vineyards and at the Robert Mondavi winery. In 1998, his own winery, Orin Swift, named for his father's middle name and his mother's maiden name, saw the light of day. Dave himself says his first wine sucked, the second was better and the rest is history. Today, you can taste Dave's wines in our tasting package and see for yourself that the exact opposite is true today, and Dave's wines are among California's top productions.
