Orin Swift 2017 Slander California Pinot Noir
91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Orin Swift 2017 Slander Pinot Noir showcases the producer's bold, expressive approach to California Pinot Noir, combining ripe fruit with freshness and complexity. The elegant nose reveals layers of ripe cherry, dried rose petal, white pepper, and alpine forest. On the palate, sweet strawberry, cranberry, and rhubarb flavors are beautifully integrated, while a long finish brings notes of toasted brioche, caramel, and fresh raspberry. Aged for 10 months in French oak, 30% new, this polished Pinot Noir offers a rich yet balanced expression with vibrant acidity and plush texture.
