Orin Swift is a renowned winery known for its bold and innovative wines, and the Machete Red is no exception. This wine is a blend of several varietals, primarily Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Grenache, which are sourced from select vineyards across California. The wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, undergoing fermentation in stainless steel before being aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels. This process imparts a rich and complex flavor profile, characterized by dark fruit notes such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, vanilla, and spice. The tannins are well-structured, providing a smooth yet robust mouthfeel. Machete Red pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled meats, barbecue, and rich stews, making it a versatile choice for various culinary experiences.
