The Machete 2020 from Orin Swift is a powerful and characterful red wine that impresses with its intensity and complexity. This Californian wine, a blend of predominantly Petite Sirah, unfolds luscious aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries and black cherries on the nose, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with velvety tannins and an opulent structure. Fine roasted aromas and a hint of black pepper add additional depth and complexity. The long, powerful finish is characterized by a harmonious balance between fruit and spice. An impressive wine that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, game dishes, or intense cheeses.
