Very smooth. Stood firm against extra hot chicken. Notes of black fruit and coffee on the palate. Blend of Petite Sirah, Grenache, Zinfandel, Syrah, and Merlot. Aged for 7 months in 32% new French Oak

Generally like this. No hurry to finish these up IMO. Definitely has the markings of other Orin Swift wines. Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah in this blend. Nice nose, vanilla, cherry, chocolate and definitely had characteristics of the Abstract and Machete. Goes well with richer dishes and commands that. Drink or hold but no rush.

Drink this up - easy drinker upon opening. Not as full-bodied as other Orin Swift bottlings, but still tasty.

Finished this bottle on the second night and it was absolutely delicious... Which means to me that this has many years left in it. Nice soft fruit, very smooth and pleasant. No need to rush through these

Definitely not your typical Orin Swift high alcohol (although it's still 15.5%) fruit bomb but interesting nonetheless. Definitely more Grenache notes than Zin/Syrah - drinks more like a full bodied Pinot than a Syrah/Zin blend. I don't understand why Cellar tracker has such a short drinking window on this. It will last at least five years

I definitely get some Orin Swift characteristics in this: fruit with pepper and while not as hefty as Abstract or Trigger Finger, it was nice. Upon opening it was a bit thin and acidic, but that evolved over an hour into a nice, easy drinking wine. Went really with my grilled chicken! Thanks for making this to benefit the community!

I usually love Orin Swift blends, but this wine is not up to their standards. First bottle was bad. 2nd bottle was just OK.

Big grenache whiff on the nose, very well-built complex blend. Reminds me a bit of Abstract, but has its own characteristics. Really enjoyed this but I think it will get smoother/better over time.
