    Orin Swift 2022 Mannequin Chardonnay

    Price range: $39.99 through $210.00

    The 2022 Mannequin pours a luminous gold core with flecks of emerald, which appear stunning in the glass. Aromatic notes of yellow peach, crème fraiche and graham cracker emanate without much coaxing. On the palate, bright hints of white peach, bosc pear, caramel apple, candied walnut and lemon pith envelop and coat effortlessly. A round finish and supple mouthfeel give way to a touch of toffee at close.

    Price range: $79.99 through $450.00

    Napa Valley California
    An inky, dark garnet sits in the glass with bursting aromatics even from afar—ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with hints of Kirsch, Madagascar vanilla and cigar box. Velvety and rich on entry and through the mid, the wine offers flavors of dark plum, blueberry and notes of fennel, fresh leather and a subtle minerality. Plush, layered and dense, the wine finishes with dusty tannins and a lingering touch of black cherry. R40-4

    Price range: $39.99 through $210.00

    California
    Dominating aromatics abound without effort—notes of blackberry pie, black plum, sage and lilac come from the glass. A flooding sensation on entry drives dark fruits onto the mid-palate with touches of savory, fennel and licorice as complements. Long on the finish, the espresso bean and continued concentration of blackberry throughout fades slowly with gentle and soft tannins.

    This is a full-bodied, dark-fruited and remarkably approachable red wine from Dave Phinney, whose deft touch has turned this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Grenache into a decadent, layered wine. Plush notes of graphite and dark chocolate dominate, while the bright red-fruited character of the Grenache shines through, interwoven with violet and dried rose petal aromatics. A pronounced mineral streak—reminiscent of incense or wet slate—adds intrigue, and the finish is long and satisfying, supported by a firm spine of tangy blood orange acidity. A truly impressive effort from Phinney, wrapped in an eye-catching label.

    Orin Swift 2024 Eight Years in the Desert

    Price range: $39.99 through $210.00

    California
    That first catches the eye is the opaque mauve core paired with a vivid fuchsia as it approaches the rim. Coating the glass, the 2024 Eight Years in the Desert opens with aromatics reminiscent of a black plum and boysenberry galette, Telli cherry peppercorn, cedar and musk. Taut yet supple on the entry, the palate exudes notes of wild blackberry, crispy pluot, a hint of fennel and slate. Pleasing texture on the finish, the soft framing tannins lead into a close of milk chocolate covered raspberry.

    An intense red, defined by lively acidity and framed by dense, ripe tannins that showcase its black currant, blackberry, violet and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Iron and wild herb accents emerge as this plays out on the finish. Though expressive at this stage, this youthful version will benefit from time in bottle. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2046. SP42-3

    Lots of blackberries, dark cherries and hints of orange peel and bark in the aromas. Medium- to full-bodied with fine creamy tannins that caress the palate. The tannic tension gives this focus and brightness. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and the rest petit verdot. Hard not to drink now, but better in two to three years. R38-2 BX-6
