8 Years in the Desert Zinfandel Blend

Full body, fruit forward 👌🏼

Third release of this Dave Phinney Zin Blend comeback project. Zinfandel (53%), Syrah (23%), Petite Syrah (20%) and Grenache (4%). Sourced from different California regions. Deep purple color. Nose fills with black cherry, grilled herbs, and lavender. Intense cooked cherry, raspberry and blueberry fruit on the pallet with hints of tobacco, black licorice and nutmeg. Smokey finish. Ripe, lush and plump. Exactly what I expected.

Velvety, silky, well balanced, amazing

This wine explodes in your mouth with dark fruit berries, a little vanilla and very soft tannins. Excellent wine!!

Love

Orin Swift ‘Eight Years In The Desert’ 2018: Consisting of 53% Zinfandel, 23% Syrah, 20% Petite Sirah & 4% Grenache, this dark wine explodes on your palate with lots of body and bold tastes. Rich & juicy flavors such as plum, dark fruits, vanilla & light oak. Moderate tannins and a soft, dry finish. Make it a great week! Cheers🍷

Rich full bodied and very tasty wine...part of my Christmas present from the children xxx

Great blend! Robust and juicy with peppery notes at the end. Definitely needs pairing with something unctuous.

Dusty, sweet, overall tasty wine.

A great Z lots of body. Somehow start and super finish.
