A bold California red blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah from Orin Swift Cellars.
Founded by Dave Phinney in 1998, Orin Swift Cellars is now part of the E. & J. Gallo Winery portfolio. The 2020 vintage follows an eight-year non-compete hiatus after the sale of The Prisoner brand, and the wine is aged in approximately half new oak barrels.
The nose opens with black and white pepper, then brambly raspberry, blueberry preserves and sweet persimmon, with allspice, clove, vanilla and forest floor. The palate is plush with strawberry preserves, blackberry pie and plum, with well-integrated acidity. The finish has ultra-round tannins, lingering raspberry and peppery spice.
