Orin Swift Returns to Zinfandel After Eight Long Years!
|
Every wine has a story. Some wines have a legendary story. This is one.
Back in 2000, Dave Phinney, founder of Orin Swift, created a movement in the wine industry with his premium Zinfandel-based blend called "The Prisoner." This wildly successful wine created a sensation and pushed the category to new heights. In 2008, Dave sold the brand and signed an agreement that he wouldn't touch Zinfandel for eight long years.
Dave missed working with Zinfandel and when those eight years came to an end, he wasted not a moment in getting back to his roots. His new project - a powerfully plush blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah - is called "
8 Years in the Desert" and it is hitting the market next month.
Some of you may be familiar with this project from the ultra-premium "First Edition" bottling which he released earlier this year in gorgeous hand-made eight-bottle display boxes. The regularly packaged 2017 bottling is more widely available and we are thrilled to offer it today, on a pre-arrival basis, for $44.99 per bottle.

Orin Swift
"8 Years in the Desert" Red Blend
California
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aged for eight months in French oak (30% new) and clocking in at a Dave Phinney-like 15.5% ABV, the 2017 "8 Years in the Desert" is ripe, full, silky and unbelievably soft. Look for lush flavors of black cherry cola, brambly raspberry, blackberry, red licorice, fresh herbs, baking spices and vanilla. The wonderfully smooth mouthfeel, and the bit of delightful tannin dancing across the palate is signature Orin Swift!
Offering pure pleasure in a bottle, this blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah demonstrates exactly why Orin Swift wines have developed such a huge and passionate following.
You can easily drink 8 Years in the Desert on its own, and the flavors are even more exponential when paired with food. We had this beauty with a plate of spicy chicken wings one night and a grilled filet the next. Both were otherworldly experiences.
Looking online, we found nine listings with a median of $50. As usual, we're a few bucks less. If you've been a fan of The Prisoner, Machete and other Dave Phinney creations, get your order in before the secret of this new wine gets out!
Vin Chicago Price: 44.99
This is a pre-arrival offering.
The wine is expected to arrive mid-October.
