Orin Swift 2021 Machete Red Wine

"A burly red, with an attitude that's jammed with bold flavors of blackberry, sandalwood and fruitcake spices as this builds density and tension toward big-shouldered tannins. Petite Sirah and Syrah. Drink now through 2033." Wine Spectator 92 Points

Winemakers Notes

"Petite Sirah is a revered grape varietal at Orin Swift. Since 2000, it has been made and utilized primarily as a blending component due to scarcity. Unlike its celebrated relative Syrah, Petite Sirah can be a challenge to source. Yet, it has always been an objective to showcase the varietal in a dynamic blend and a pursuit was launched to find some prized petite vineyards. The realization of this goal came in 2009 with the first release of Machete. Spurred by a favorable reaction, we continued our hunt to include additional blocks in an effort to make the wine even better. Prominent regions throughout Northern California comprise this matrix, which provides for added layers of depth and structure. We were afforded ideal growing conditions which allowed for an exceptional harvest. The results of which is a wine with attitude to complement the twelve individual labels."
