Orin Swift was founded by winemaker David Phinney in 1998 – responsible for creating the incredibly popular “Prisoner.” After working for the Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997, Phinney set out on his own with only two tons of Zinfandel fruit, which would set in motion the creation of this now “cult classic” winery. Eight Years in the Desert is a big and bold blend of 53% Zinfandel, 23% Syrah, 20% Petite Sirah, 4% Grenache.

Reviews & Scores
A blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Grenache, aged eight months in 30% new French oak, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Red Blend 8 Years in the Desert bursts forth with blackberry pie, warm cassis, licorice and raspberry pie with touches of tree bark, garrigue and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and jam-packed with opulent berry preserves and exotic spice layers, it has a velvety texture and wonderful freshness, finishing very long. 39,400 cases produced.
