Fairly rich style and smooth. Only negative was a medicinal note that came through on the finish. It wasn't overpowering but did take away from an otherwise delicious wine.

Big, bold, in-your-face. Doesn’t pull any punches. An explosion of fruit, finishing with slice and pepper. If you’re looking for something lacking in subtlety, step tight up.

May 18th, 2018Second tasting. Consistent tasting notes. Massive. Could be mistaken for a Syrah. Unmistakable in-your-face Phinney wine. Blackberry, pepper, spice box. A long, spicy finish. At least 5 years. Solid first vintage.

Another hit by Phinney with a glorious mouth feel for this Pinot noir and tannins that can only be described as chewy.

In your face smoke and dark fruit on the nose. Lush, jammy boysenberry, dark cherry and cocoa notes dominate, transitioning into red pepper and earthy, long finish. Unique for Pinot. Could be mistaken for a Syrah. Classic Orin swift. Good through 2021.

Dec 12th, 2015Massive. Blackberry, pepper, spice box. A long, spicy finish. Drinks more like a combo of Pinot and Syrah. Lighter initial feel, heavier finish. In your face, but much more complexity than Belle Glos. Unmistakable Orin Swift. Young, but needed to try. At least 5 years. Solid first vintage.
