Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert Red Blend
Bold and velvety California Zinfandel-led masterpiece
This rich, concentrated red blend opens with intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, baking spices, and a hint of fresh bramble. The lush, enveloping texture is balanced perfectly by a beam of acidity and ultra-round tannins that lead into a long, velvety finish.
