Pairs With
Machete is one of the boldest wines from Orin Swift, the cult California label founded by David Phinney, famed for striking labels and powerful blends. It makes a hero of Petite Sirah, supported by Syrah and Grenache for lift and spice, then aged 14 months in French and American oak. Inky in the glass with a hint of funk and minerals, it is massive on entry, unfolding dark plum, black pepper, Amarena cherry, and a marbled leather texture. Pair with charred steak and roasted rosemary potatoes.
