Nose is smoky tomato. Blows off quickly. Some dried shitake mushroom.
Palate is fresh. Juicy old cherries. Big fruit. Really delicious. Kinky spices. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Very interesting.
15.5% alcohol?!?
Lets see how it goes.
2 hours in nose is pleasant heirloom tomato. Palate is darker cherries. Big. Spice. Juicy. A big wine girding for a knife fight.
Day 2 major tomato on the nose. Yucky tomato juice. Better yesterday. — 2 years ago
Can’t go wrong with Orin Swift. Labels are odd, but wine is awesome. Very smooth blend - goes with anything — 5 years ago
Smooth, simple, a bit medicinal, almost like a liqueur. Goes well with chocolate. — 7 months ago

For the price, a great bargain especially coming from a winery such as Pine Ridge. Crisp, citrus with pear. Slightly sweet. Perfect summer wine that goes down very easy. — 4 years ago
DIRTY THIRTY! Gorgeous. Earthy mushroom nose. Strawberry compote, sautéed peppers, and... rose hips? Finish goes in and out but man... worth every penny. — 5 years ago
Slight medicine smell initially but then it goes away. Very good flavor. Paired well with Chili — a year ago
I’ll give you a wine connoisseurs opinion on this. Forget the nose, palate, body yada yada yada. It’s good shit. Nice and warm & goes down like a train. Buy 2 bottles. — 4 years ago

Fragrance was really good and the initial taste was great. It gets sour over time but it goes with everything. Nice and mature wine. — 2 months ago
