Orin Swift 8 Yrs Desert 2023

Orin Swift's 8 Years in the Desert is Dave Phinney's bold California Zinfandel-led red blend, layered with Petite Sirah and Syrah and aged in a portion of new oak. The name nods to the eight-year non-compete that kept Phinney out of Zinfandel after he sold The Prisoner, making this his triumphant return to the grape. Expect a richly fragrant, full-bodied wine with red, black and blue fruit lifted by spice and impressive intensity.
