Orin Swift | Abstract, California

Red Blends

92PTS ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE. Aged for eight months in oak (27%
new; of which, 57% was French oak), the 2018 Proprietary Red Abstract is a blend
of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple
colored, it offers up bombastic notions of crushed black cherries, warm plums and
blueberry compote with hints of dried herbs, spice box and new leather.
Full-bodied, the palate explodes with rich, ripe black and blue berry preserves
and a velvety texture, finishing long and vibrant.
