ORIN SWIFT 1325 MAIN STREET, ST HELENA, CA 94574 707-967-9179 www.orinswift.com California Table Wine, © 2019 Orin Swift Cellars, Napa, CA. All rights reserved. 75,864 MILES 2017 CALIFORNIA RED WINE Every year, come early August, we adjust our alarms and start the early morning drives from vineyard to vineyard in a race against the sun. Throughout the year, we work with growers to get to this point, where the fruits of their labor come to fruition. Day in, day out, we rely on cars, trucks, tractors, boots and sometimes bicycles, allowing us to taste, deliberate, taste again and then decide when to pick, and on to the next. Overall, from the ridges of Mendocino to the Sierra Nevada Foothills, from the canyons above Santa Barbara and to everywhere in between, we traverse an area of 75,864 miles, culminating in a haphazard dance across California’s wine regions. WINEMAKER’S NOTES A dark purple core, the wine’s aromatics lift with notes of ripe blackberry, cassis, slow-cooked Persian lamb and layers of spice—musk and cardamom to name a few. Elegant yet forceful, deep and pure, the palate exhibits dark plums, overripe blueberries and assorted black fruits. Dense through the finish, the wine closes with a touch of tannin and soft sweet black cherry. BLEND Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Zinfandel MATURATION Aged 10 months in French Oak Barrels, 18% New ALC/VOL 15.4%
