Product Notes

Orin Swift 8 Years In The Dessert is a captivating wine, offering an exhilarating blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah. The wine boasts a spellbinding deep-dense purple colour and a robust nose filled with ripe black fruits, liquorice, and spice. It seduces the palate with intense flavours, revealing hints of sun-drenched ripe cherries, plums and spices. Contradicting preconceptions, this wine remains round and velvety, offering a plush mouthfeel while retaining a backbone of hearty tannins. This indulgent drop interlaces opulence and structure, maturing meticulously over eight years yielding a wine of deviant complexity. A brilliant bottle from Orin Swift's exquisite selection.

Tasting Notes

An opaque core with a red amethyst rim, the wine opens with ripe raspberry and blackberry, dark plum preserves and hints of black pepper and clove. An entry of heft, the palate is packed with blueberry and sweet black cherry along with touch of fresh herbs—thyme, savory and tarragon. Long on the finish, the ripe tannins, a dash of ash, and notes of black tea round out the wine.
