Orin Swift

Orin Swift Cellars, based in California, is known for its distinctive winemaking style and philosophy, which emphasizes creativity and experimentation. The winery's signature varietal is Merlot, as evident from the release of "Advice From John," a Merlot blend that aims to revitalize this often-maligned grape variety. According to the website, the wine features complex aromatics with notes of blackberry pie, black plum, sage, and lilac, followed by dark fruits, savory flavors, and soft tannins. The winery offers four distinct tasting experiences: Rock, Paper, Scissors, and The Vault, each providing a unique and thoughtful approach to wine tasting. Visitors can book appointments for these tastings through the website. Orin Swift's vineyard practices are not explicitly stated on the website, but the emphasis on creative expression suggests a focus on innovative winemaking techniques. The winery's atmosphere is described as vibrant and artistic, with a strong connection to its team members' personal projects and collaborations, such as Samantha Smith's "Advice From John" book and art series.
