2024 Orin Swift Bloodlines Cabernet

The winery says:

Bloodlines is a story of obsession. We are on a relentless pursuit to create the best wines, pushing ourselves harder each day and moving the goal post just before we reach it. Sourcing is intentional, blending is precise and labels are perfected. Case in point - the red Orin Swift rings are more than meets the eye – founder and winemaker Dave Phinney drew they by hand over 300 times before they were right. The devil is in the details and simply put, we are obsessed.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES The deep core pulls one into the glass of the 2024 Bloodlines, complemented by a neon fuchsia rim. Aromatically, the wine exudes notes of pluot, boysenberry, blackcurrant, black pepper and leather. As the wine opens, further complexity is revealed highlighted by a rocky perfume. Taut and balanced with acidity, the palate fills with rich notes of blackberry, lavender and a lengthy close of drying tannins.
