Orin Swift 'Machete' Petite Sirah 2018

You cannot ignore the label on this wine. From over 10,000 shots, 12 were chosen. Which one you'll get on the bottle is always a lovely surprise. The woman in the picture is always in a position of power however, representing the power held within the bottle.

Grape Varietals: Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache

Wine Region: Napa Valley, California

Tasting Notes: Notes of wet stone, black plum and crushed gravel reverberate from within. Bold upfront, the palate is all-enveloping with mixed berry crepe, black licorice and a touch of char. Layered and omnipotent in weight, the wine finishes with ripe Petite Sirah tannins, providing a pleasant closing texture.

Food Pairing: Chargrilled Red Meats
