What first catches the eye is the opaque mauve core with a vivid fuchsia rim. The nose opens with aromatics of black plum and boysenberry galette, Tellicherry peppercorn, cedar, and musk. Taut yet supple on entry, the palate delivers wild blackberry, crispy pluot, a hint of fennel, and slate, finishing with soft framing tannins and a close of milk chocolate-covered raspberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate 93 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e — Based primarily on Zinfandel (60%, mainly from Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley), with 28% Petite Sirah, 7% Syrah, and 5% other reds. A terrific effort with a perfumed nose of ripe raspberries and hints of stone fruit. Full-bodied (15.4% ABV) and silky-textured, nicely balanced and mouthwatering, with soft tannins on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orin Swift Cellars\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Zinfandel, 28% Petite Sirah, 7% Syrah, 5% other reds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e California (Monte Rosso, Dry Creek Valley, and others)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 months in French oak, 32% new\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.4%\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47317608235291,"sku":"210000030644","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/ypi6ok9t9r30h6xu90mz.jpg?v=1772555079","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/orin-swift-eight-years-in-the-desert-zin-petite-sirah-syrah-california-2024-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
