New Orin Swift Wines Are Here!

2010 Orin Swift "D66" Grenache, Roussillon France
 Sale Price $35.99 (net) 
The 2010 vintage marks the second release of D66 from the winery and vineyards in Maury, France, Situated in the outer Roussillon against the backdrop of the Pyrenees mountain range, old vine Grenache thrives along with some Syrah and Carignan. The intense heat from the daytime sun is reflected back to the gnarled, head trained vines at night, increasing ripeness while maintaining acidity. The result is  a very dark, concentrated and finesse driven wine that embodies this singular region and terroir. Aromas of ripe crushed cherries intertwined with seasoned French oak dominate the nose and lead gently into an enormous entry. Ripe strawberries and watermelon from  the structure mid palate which bursts with bright acidity.

"2010 Abstract is a blend of Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Syrah primarily from hillside vineyards. The aromas are laced with crushed black fruits and bing cherry. A mouth coating entry leads nicely into a mid palate with excellent structure and balanced acidity. Ripe cherry and strawberry dominate the finish which is clean and long.

2009 Orin Swift Proprietary Red Blend "Papillion", Napa Valley

Sale Price $49.99 (net)"The wine has a very dense garnet hue with a slight stain of cardinal on the rim. Aromas of plum and cassis are built around soft French oak and cedar box nuances. The entry is intense, yet elegant with loads of boysenberry and dark fruit flavors. Well integrated tannin chains provide for a long, soft finish."
