Orin Swift Abstract 2019 75cl 15% ABV

Orin Swift Abstract, Napa Valley, California, USA

Abstract is the epitome of complexity through geographic diversification. The Wine, like the label, is a collage of many different parts and pieces. We source fruit from multiple vineyards, in multiple appellations , throughout the state. This not only allows us to create a style but maintain consistency from year to year. The label is over 230 individual images collected over many years, assembled over a four-week period. The Red Wine, like the label, starts with over 200 pieces , whittled down over the course of a few months during multiple marathon tastings—not all of which made the blend. Resulting is a wine representative of the Golden State.

Expansive aromas of ripe red fruits, raspberries, bing cherries and strawberries, and a touch of boysen - and huckleberries open the nose. The aromas continue onto the palate with added layers of charred meat, rhubarb, thyme, surrounding a dark fruit core. Smooth, enveloping and lasting, the wine finishes with a pleasing maraschino cherry note.
