Orin Swift Machete Red California 2016

Producer notes: “Petite Sirah, Syrah and Grenache. 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. Barrel aged 10 months in French oak (40% new). Alcohol 15.7%.”
