Working with Zinfandel requires using the Goldilocks Principle: Pick it too early and you end up with a stemmy wine. Pick it too late and you risk a stuck fermentation. Pick it just right... well, what do you think? 2019 marks the third release of our eight-part passion play known as 8 Years in the Desert. As we meander through the coming years and remaining vintages, the wine, as well as the labels on the bottle, will continue to evolve. If we do our jobs right, the wine should only get better.  The labels have a bit more of a pre-ordained nature — they’re all born from the original eight featured in the limited edition. Each vintage will revisit the original labels in sequential order. Some of you know them all, some of you only know label #1. Some will like what comes next, some will hate it. But suffice to say they are all cut from a similar cloth.  As with the previous four vintages, our 2019 blend combines the heart and body of Zinfandel with the nuance and complexity of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Grenache. Sourced from quality vineyards like Monte Rosso, Bismark, Korte, and Frei Ranch, 8 Years in the Desert uses only our favorite lots of each grape. Double-blind tasted and aged over a ten-month period, we are very proud of our 2019 vintage and hope you enjoy it now and for many years to come. Tasting Notes: Evolving aromatics present themselves first with black and white pepper, then a ripe fruit core of brambly raspberry and sweet persimmon, finishing with savory notes of allspice, clove and fig leaf. Boisterous yet elegant on entry, the wine shows its plush layers with distinctive strawberry preserves, blackberry and raspberry pie topped with fresh crème. Round, ripe tannins close the palate menacingly, leaving one with a desperate thirst for more.

Our 2018 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a delightfully approachable wine. Aromas of crushed dried violet, dark berries and mocha greet the nose. Textured layers of black cherry and black raspberries meld together with notes of oak and vanilla. The silky palate leads to a lingering, vibrant finish. Following harvest, the Pinot Noir grapes were cold soaked for at least two days to enhance extraction of the variety’s vibrant color and delicate flavors. Burgundian yeast selections were introduced for primary fermentation. Malolactic fermentation occurred on light lees in barrel, which promoted a seamless integration of wine and oak. The wine was aged sur lie to create a round, soft mouthfeel, and racked in July to form the base of the wine to marry flavors. A complex oak aging regime of new and used barrels imparted sweet aromas of vanilla framed by hints of toast and roasted nuts.

Our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc offers the quintessential vibrant expression of Marlborough, capturing the subtle nuances, layers and textures of the region’s celebrated micro-climates and soils. The wine opens with enticing aromas of tropical fruits, black currant, stone fruit and citrus. On the bright, expressive palate, notes of nectarine, white peach, grapefruit, guava and passion fruit lift from the glass, beautifully balanced with gentle hints of fresh-cut herbs, lemongrass and wet river rock. The finish is long and textured, a refreshingly crisp sip to savor and appreciate.

Delicate and approachable, Fleur de Mer Rosé captures the serene artistry of the idyllic, sun-washed coastal shores of Provence, the world’s best-known region for Rosé. Vintage 2020 opens with generous aromas of wildflowers, ripe cherry and freshcut citrus. Soft, smooth and beautifully balanced on the palate, fruit-forward notes of white peach, raspberry, strawberry and watermelon blend with refreshing hints of sea spray and herbs. A crisp and delightful showcase of the elegance of Provençal Rosé. The grapes selected for our 2020 Fleur de Mer Rosé were checked each week to ensure fruit is harvested at perfect maturity, ensuring layered flavors and delicate balance. Grapes were harvested in the very early morning hours to preserve aromas and structure, then direct-pressed to maintain the bright, concentrated fruit characteristics and produce our pleasing coral pink hue. During temperature-controlled cool fermentation of no more than 59°F, juices are tasted one or twice daily. For this vintage, Winemaker Florian Lacroux selected primarily Grenache and Cinsault to form the core of the blend, supported by other extraordinary Provençal red grapes in a beautifully harmonious, layered Rosé wine.

Bursting with all the flavors of juicy blueberries, Barefoot Blueberry FRUITSCATO makes every day just a little bit sweeter. This scrumptious blend of red wine and natural flavors is a perfect pairing for fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate brownies!

The limited release Apothic Brew is an innovative and bold red blend infused with cold brew coffee. This plush, full-bodied blend matches the concentrated dark fruit notes of red blends with the mocha and subtle chocolate characteristics of the cold brew. Hints of maple and toasted oak linger on the long finish, highlighted by the distinctive rich, smooth depth of cold brew coffee.

Staying humble and letting the grapes do the talking is how we get better at winemaking every vintage. Pinot Noir requires even more humility, especially in the vineyards—when the grapes are ready, they’re ready. Requiring a gentler approach with punchdowns rather than pumpovers, Pinot Noir expresses itself when it is least manipulated. Sourced primarily from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA on the Central Coast, along with prominent vineyards across the state, such as the Annapolis Ridge Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast and the Del Rio Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, Slander is a union of California Pinot Noir made with the Orin Swift signature style. Tasting Notes: Emerging from the bottle with a glowing cardinal hue, it opens with a mouthwatering nose of bright strawberry and Rainier cherry with shades of milk chocolate, passion fruit and pink guava. The palate is refined, incredibly balanced and energetic throughout with ripples of acidity; notes of cranberry, sweet cherry pie, sour plum, black mission fig, graham cracker and chocolate covered almond. The wine closes with a mediating acidity and an almost unnoticeable dash of oak tannin.
