2023 Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert Red Blend

Big-fruited and polished, yet finely cut. 8 Years in the Desert returns to Orin Swift’s Zinfandel roots, blended with Petite Sirah and Syrah for color, spice, and drive. Stainless fermentation and time in French oak shape a supple texture, vivid aromatics, and a long, confident finish that feels unmistakably California. The 2024 release shows dark-plum depth, brambly berries, and savory detail, landing powerful but fresh at the table or beside a grill.
