The last of my Orin Swift fruit bomb wines. It was good with burgers, but just too big for sipping afterwards. Second day it was about the same. No nuance or character. Just big ripe fruit.

Pnp. Fruit still notable on the nose and palate. Some mild secondaries. Soft tannins. Good length. Medium to full weight. Enjoyed with grilled tri-tip tonight. Winner!

Decanted for an hour. Ahh, what a fantastic bouquet of mature cassis and leather. The palate also shows good mature dark fruits, with an elegance that has come with time. Definitely in a great spot now!
