Tasting Notes

Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert 2024 opens with an opaque mauve core and vivid fuchsia rim, offering black plum, boysenberry galette, Tellicherry peppercorn, cedar, musk, ripe raspberry, and stone fruit aromas. The palate is taut yet supple, with wild blackberry, crispy pluot, fennel, slate, silky texture, soft tannins, and a finish of milk chocolate-covered raspberry.

Food Paring

Pair this bold California red blend with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, lamb chops, aged cheeses, rich pasta, or hearty stews to match its power and layered dark fruit. It is also a strong choice for barbecue, roasted meats, and celebratory dinners when you want a plush, high-impact red with spice and texture.

Professional Reviews

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Based primarily on Zinfandel (60%, mainly from Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley), Orin Swift's 2024 Red Blend 8 Years in the Desert also includes 28% Petite Sirah, 7% Syrah and 5% other reds. The largest-production wine in the range this vintage (41,500 cases), it's a terrific effort, with a perfumed nose of ripe raspberries and hints of stone fruit. It's full-bodied (15.4% alcohol) and silky-textured, nicely balanced and mouthwatering, with soft tannins on the finish."
