Call it what you want but Orin’s sweet spot is not Pinot - 16% and lots of cherry cough syrup. Probably just as effective as NyQuil... 💤

Really bold for a Pinot and well bodied but not bad. A light red color to it and just a light tint of tanin

Hello spring 👋🌷 Loving the beautiful sunshine 🌞 and mild temps here in the Twin Cities today.
Just wrapped up a tasting with friends that included a study of Orin Swift wines, including this heavyweight Pinot Noir from California.
👁 It is solidly medium ruby with “demonic” tearing. @win_drinks_wine
👃 On the nose this wine has medium(+) intensity in youthful aromas. Aromas include notes of candied cherry, kirsch, raspberry preserves, cranberry, strawberry rhubarb, also violet, licorice, mushroom, forest floor, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, cedar, and dark chocolate.
👄 On the palate this wine is dry, it has medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, HIGH alcohol, medium tannins, and medium(+) intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. The finish lingers.
Woah, this is unexpectedly heavy and intense for a Pinot Noir, but I have to say it’s pretty darn delicious.

Typical Pinot aroma and flavors. Silky smooth. Nice acidity, spice and balanced oak (vanilla).
