Orin Swift Cellars Machete

Founded in 1998 by winemaker Dave Phinney, Orin Swift’s imaginative and exciting approach to brand innovation and winemaking has led to international acclaim and an intensely loyal following. Dave named Orin Swift as a tribute to his family – Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name. He spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today. We welcome you to stop by and visit us at our Napa Valley tasting room located in downtown St. Helena.

Description

WINE NOTES: The 2016 Orin Swift Machete pours violet ink in the glass, a nose of black plums, cassis, and cacao engage. The robust entry consists of a progressing palate of blackberry and boysenberry compote, a reduction of dark plum and ripe figs, and pure Amarena cherry. Flashes of vanilla and traces of minerality evolve into chalky tannins and a smooth lingering finish
