Created by Dave Phinney, Orin Swift is a blend of his father's middle name and his mother's maiden name. Originally travelling to Italy for a semester abroad, Dave discovered his love for wine and eventually landed his first job as a manual harvester. After learning a lot during this time, he returned to California, bought two tonnes of Zinfandel, and then Orin Swift Cellars was born.

A blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel matured for 8 months in a mix of old and new French and American oak before being blended and bottled.

Produces ripe aromatic notes of blackberry and raspberry. Further hints of chocolate, fresh espresso, black pepper, and allspice linger on the nose before opening up to black plum and mixed red berries on the palate. Supported by an energetic and concentrated palate, the soft textured tannins finish with a touch of dried tarragon. Pour a glass alongside a tomahawk steak with plenty of salt and fresh thyme.
