Tasting Notes – Orin Swift Machete 2020
The 2020 Machete opens with seductive aromas of ripe blue and black fruits, smoked meat, graphite, dark cocoa and a profound mineral undertone. The inky colour coats the glass, promising richness and depth. On the palate, dense layers of black plum, ripe blackberry, cassis and stone fruits unfold. Subtle hints of candied orange peel, cracked pepper and exotic spices create complexity and intrigue.
Typical of a Petite Sirah-dominant blend, robust yet well-integrated tannins shape a voluptuous mouthfeel, balanced by refined acidity. The long finish lingers with notes of charred oak, dark chocolate and a touch of savoury game. This is a serious, cellar-worthy red for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Winery | The Orin Swift story starts in 1995 when, on a whim, David Swift Phinney understandably took a friend up on an offer to spend a term ‘studying’ in Florence. During that time, he was introduced to wine and how it was made, and he got hooked. After graduating in 1997, he took a temporary harvest job at the iconic Robert Mondavi winery. Harvest is not an easy job, and David quickly decided that if he was going to work this hard, it should eventually be for himself. in 1998, he founded Orin Swift Cellars with two tons of zinfandel, a disruptive approach to labels and marketing and not much else. Today, Orin Swift is owned by California icons E&J Gallo. Still, David remains at the helm, disregarding the traditions of terroir and site-specific bottlings in favour of simply procuring the best grapes to make the most drinkable blends and putting them in bottles that stand out. |
