2016 Orin Swift “BLANK STARE” Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley)

Winery Tasting Notes:

“Tight at first, then generous on the nose, the wine bursts with classic aromas of white peach, pear and freshly cut grass as well as stone, butterscotch, and clove. Shards of minerality, white fig and lemon zest dominate the palate, with beams of acidity following through the extensive finish.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2016 D66 “FRAGILE” Rosé (France)

Winery Tasting Notes:

“In the glass, the wine shimmers with a pale hue of translucent garnet. Soft aromatics of dried rose petals prevail and invite a tasting. With bright hints of strawberry and ripe stone fruits, the wine leads to an opulent mid-palate. Finishing with purpose, it is long and riddled with layers of texture and grace.”

 

 

 

 

 

2014 D66 “OTHERS” Red Wine (France)

Winery Tasting Notes:

“The wine has a profound cardinal hue with powerful aromas of rhubarb compote, savory roasted plum, star anise and leather. Opening with potent flavors of cola, dark fruits, raspberry jam and baking chocolate, it transitions to offer building flavors of forest floor, fennel, and earthy asian spices. With a purposeful finish, the wine closes with shards of acidity and lengthy polished tannins.”

 

 

 

 

 

2014 Department 66 “D66” Red Wine (France)

Winery Tasting Notes:

“Optimum growing conditions with a crowning harvest mark the 2014 vintage. A saturated cardinal hue belted in garnet is revealed in the glass. The nose brims with an impeccable oak profile with shaded oak tree accents. A mineral cast of alluvial soil can be detected as well, which frames a vibrant perfume of red berry fruits, cassis, cardamom, and exotic spices. The entry bursts with a vibrant blueberry and cassis concentrate that is rounded out with the richness of a crème brûlée, or crema catalana. The mid palate has vibrant acidity with distinctive mineral notes of garrigue, stone, and schist. Closing with purpose, the wine boasts silky tannins and a lengthy finish of sublime richness.”

 

 

 

2015 Orin Swift “MACHETE” Red Wine (California)

Winery Tasting Notes:

“A brooding hue and viscous consistency, powerful aromas of crème de cassis, boysenberry, and ripe cherries are complemented by a soft minerality and hints of dark chocolate. The entry is smooth with dark plums and a charred meatiness that floods to create a velvety texture that lingers.”
