Description
Crafted by visionary winemaker Dave Phinney, Orin Swift’s “A Sign of Times” Red blend captures the restless energy of California’s premier vineyard sites. Fruit from Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Mendocino intertwine in a daring composition of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Zinfandel, aged for ten months in French oak to achieve power and polish. In the glass, it pours an inky-crimson hue, releasing heady aromas of blackberry compote, raspberry, dark cherry, and crushed violets layered with espresso, vanilla bean, and a whisper of graphite.
The palate is lavish, yet disciplined: ripe black-fruit flavors surge forward, framed by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that carry through a long, mocha-spiced finish. Decant for thirty minutes to unlock its full dimension, then pair with grilled rib-eye, rosemary lamb, or aged Gouda. While immediately rewarding, the structure suggests five to eight years of cellar potential.
