ORIN SWIFT BLOODLINES

2024 CALIFORNIA CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Bloodlines is a story of both history and obsession.
Dave Phinney's connection to the wine industry runs deeper
than he initially knew. After uncovering his extended family history,
he discovered that winemaking had been on both sides of his
family for generations. The winemaking “bloodline” had been there
all along, perhaps silently guiding and inspiring the obsession.
At Orin Swift, we push ourselves harder each day and move the
goalpost just before we reach it. Sourcing is intentional, blending
is precise, and labels are perfected. Case in point - the red Orin
Swift rings are more than meets the eye – Dave drew them by hand
over 300 times before they were right. The devil is in the details
and simply put, we are obsessed.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
The deep core pulls one into the glass of the 2024 Bloodlines,
complemented by a neon fuchsia rim. Aromatically, the wine exudes
notes of pluot, boysenberry, blackcurrant, black pepper and leather.
As the wine opens, further complexity is revealed, highlighted by a
rocky perfume. Taut and balanced with acidity, the palate fills with
rich notes of blackberry, lavender and a lengthy close of drying
tannins.
BLEND - Cabernet Sauvignon

Dave drew the red rings on this label by hand. Hundreds of times. Not because the early versions were bad — because they weren’t right. That difference is the whole point.

This is a story of obsession. The kind that you can’t stop, and has no end. You’ll feel it in the wine. 
The circle will continue but this version won’t come around again. Don’t miss out.
