2019 Orin Swift Equinox Edition XVI 'Dawng'

"A true expression of the Petite Sirah grape, the wine shows off a black ink core with a rich crimson rim. On the nose, a floral and expressive set of aromas flow from the glass: ultraripe blue plum, open-hearth charred duck, sweet oak, a slight funk and the spray from opening a juicy Cara Cara orange. The palate taps into another dimension: massive, relentless, shocking, girthy, sinister, truly unique. Notes of sweet blueberry pie, braised beef stew and Vietnamese coffee transport you to 2pm under the sweltering Death Valley sun encased in an imploding black hole of tannin. Enjoy now to experience the varietal in its young beastly state or give it a few years to mellow and mature." - Orin Swift
