While there will be a brief retail appearance at HEB, afterwards, this wine will be an on premise exclusive.  We are fortunate to be included in the select establishments that will have this wine available. 

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. Sourcing is intentional, blending is precise and labels are perfected. Case in point - the red Orin Swift rings are more than meets the eye – they represent the crossing of the bloodlines “Orin” and “Swift”, to create our name, and 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 This is an ample medium-bodied the wine, with an elegant frame.  It exudes notes of pluot, boysenberry, blackcurrant, black pepper and leather. As the wine opens, further complexity is revealed highlighted by a rocky perfume. The rich palate with notes of blackberry and lavender is balanced with the perfect level of acidity that leads to a lengthy finish of dusty tannins.
