Orin Swift Cellars-8 Years in the Desert 2021

Heady aromas of brambly raspberry, black fig, and peppercorn dominate; time in glass exposes more‚ dark chocolate, fennel, and High Sierra forest floor. The palate is lush and opulent with blackberries, dark plums, and currants. More flavors add to the quality of the blend‚ visceral minerality and fresh Herbs de Provence. Fully integrated with puckering tannins, the wine bows out with finesse. 53% Zinfandel, 23% Syrah, 20% Petite Sirah, 4% Grenache.
