Orin Swift Abstract Red 2023

A proprietary red blend of Petite Sirah, Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel, aged seven months in 30% new oak. Orin Swift has recently opened a new tasting lounge in St. Helena, CA, a must-visit for those exploring Napa Valley. Dave Phinney, the founder of Orin Swift, remains deeply involved in making all the decisions to pick and refine these wines in the cellar. This blend bursts with explosive blue fruit aromatics, layered with violets and sweet baking spice. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is packed with pure blue fruit, blackberry, and black cherry, all structured around a crystalline acid backbone and firm tannins. The juicy fruit finish lingers, accented by white pepper and pressed floral aromatics—a bold yet balanced expression of Orin Swift’s signature style.

A deep and full-bodied red that’s powerful in black fruit and laced with fine-grained tannins. Blackberry, dried blueberry, black licorice and black pepper flavors backed by sturdy tannins for a grippy texture. A blend of primarily petite sirah with syrah and grenache. Drink or hold.
