Cellar No. 8

Orin Swift Cellars

8 Years in the Desert Zinfandel Blend 2022

Dark ruby/black color with purple highlights. Aromas of ripe blueberries, dark plum, black raspberry, coffee and mint. The palate is fruit forward (but not over the top) featuring blackberry and ripe strawberry jam and a hint of sour cranberry, pomegranate and bittersweet chocolate. Light touch of oak on the medium-plus finish. Balanced acidity. Ripe tannins and nicely developed for such a young (just a baby) wine. — 10 days ago

Vintage 2017 | a pretty marriage imo. Fruitiness of Cabernet, warmth and spicyness of Syrah | paired wonderful with beef from bbq and Cantonese style egg plant — 7 days ago

@Timothy Lynch There has been a lot of very good wine made in Australia since producers stopped chasing Parker points many years ago.

Bin No 1 Great Western Shiraz 2019

Meaty, charcuterie notes together with black and blue fruits. The palate is rich and savoury - full bodied on the earthy spectrum with ripe plum. Bests are an under the radar Gem in the Grampians. It should be a regular purchase particularly at the price. An average price of around $30. — 3 months ago
