2021 MACHETE BY ORIN SWIFT, RED BLEND WINE, CALIFORNIA

Grapes sourced from Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Depending on the vintage the blend may vary. This wine was bottled with 12 different labels.

A nearly opaque color sets in the glass with a hard, red complexion that is almost black. Aromas of ripe blueberries and candied plum mingle with toasted oak and charred vanilla. The entry is soft and inviting which paves the way for a lush mid-palate replete with layers of ripe boysenberry and cassis. The finish showcases ripe tannins and pronounced fruit which frames the two for nearly a minute.
