Orin Swift Machete 2021 California Red Blend 75cl – the bold, signature Petite Sirah-dominant cuvée from Dave Phinney's iconic Orin Swift Cellars. This unapologetic, machete-sharp wine showcases fruit sourced from exceptional sites across California: Summerwind (Yorkville Highlands), Portico Hills (Santa Barbara County), Stone's Throw (Alexander Valley), and more. Aged 14 months in French and American oak, it delivers intense concentration balanced by bright acidity and refined structure.

Inky black in the glass with decadent aromas of blue and black fruits, charred meat, subtle funk, and profound minerality. The palate is dense yet poised—black plum, stone fruits, gamey essence, candied orange peel, layered minerality, and levelling acidity for freshness. Tannic and complex with a long, dry finish. ABV 15.4%. Perfect with grilled meats, barbecue, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Drink now through 2030+ for evolving complexity
