Orin Swift Eight Years In The Desert 2024 is a bold California red wine crafted from Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Syrah, sourced from premier vineyards including Sonoma County. Aged eight months in French oak, it opens with aromas of black plum, boysenberry, peppercorn, and cedar, setting the tone for a rich and layered experience. Bottled at 15.4% ABV, it delivers both power and finesse.

The palate is supple yet structured, revealing wild blackberry, pluot, fennel, and a touch of slate, finishing with milk chocolate–covered raspberry and soft tannins. This full-bodied red is best enjoyed slightly below room temperature, perfect for slow sipping or pairing with grilled meats and hearty dishes.
