Our take
What we make of this bottle
At $15.99 to $22.99 in our September 2026 checks, this is a California red with a wide idea behind it: Locations Wine says its winemaker, Dave Phinney, gathers grapes from wine regions around the world rather than one vineyard or appellation. For a brand whose whole name is about place, the flat "CA" in this one's name is almost a wink.
What grapes go into it, we cannot confirm; the name calls it a red blend and leaves it at that.

From the producer
Multi-region sourcing
Locations Wine says its wines are made by winemaker Dave Phinney, who sources grapes from wine regions around the world rather than a single vineyard or appellation.
Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
