Orin Swift Sign of the Times Red Blend 2023

$29.99
Orin Swift has never shied away from new ideas. Sign of the Times is exactly that — a reflection of the uncanny moment we find ourselves as art and the artificial tests our intelligence and the line between real and surreal dissolves. Fear and optimism are easy gut reactions to new technology. Curiosity takes work. With every revolution, you can resist or jump in — the important thing is to do neither blind.

This is a full-bodied, dark-fruited and remarkably approachable red wine from Dave Phinney, whose deft touch has turned this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Grenache into a decadent, layered wine. Plush notes of graphite and dark chocolate dominate, while the bright red-fruited character of the Grenache shines through, interwoven with violet and dried rose petal aromatics. A pronounced mineral streak—reminiscent of incense or wet slate—adds intrigue, and the finish is long and satisfying, supported by a firm spine of tangy blood orange acidity. A truly impressive effort from Phinney, wrapped in an eye-catching label
