For winemaker Dave Phinny at Orin Swift, creating the right alchemy is his primary purpose. The Abstract came about from his love of Grenache and this is a pure expression of this varietal from the Napa climate. Rounded out with a healthy dollop of Petite Sirah and Syrah, this full-bodied red displays abundant ripe summer strawberry and cherry layered over cocoa and spices. The wine was matured in French oak. Serve with upscale burgers with gruyère cheese or gamey lamb shoulder with garlic and herbs.
