Vintage: 2022

$38.99

Orin Swift is renowned for its bold and innovative approach to winemaking, and the Abstract Red Wine is a testament to this philosophy. This wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Petite Sirah, sourced from some of California's most prestigious vineyards. The wine undergoes a meticulous winemaking process, including fermentation in stainless steel and aging in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels, which imparts a rich complexity to the wine. The flavor profile is characterized by ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of mocha, vanilla, and a hint of spice. The tannins are well-structured, providing a smooth and lingering finish. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

A proprietary red blend of Petite Sirah, Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel aged eight months in 31% new oak. Orin Swift has opened a new, lovely tasting lounge in the town of St. Helena, CA and is worth a visit for those coming to the Napa Valley. Dave Phinney, the founder of Orin Swift, calls all the picks and continues working and honing these wines in the cellar. Rich black cherry, toffee, and caramel spices lead to a full-bodied wine with red berry fruit and chocolatey, robust, chewy tannins. The long fruit-driven finish offers ample brown spices and toasty cedarwood.
