Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The first sip of Orin Swift Machete Red 750ml is like stepping into a velvet-draped room filled with the scent of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and a hint of cracked black pepper. Crafted in the United States with an ABV of 15.70%, this bold red blend delivers layers of juicy boysenberry, cocoa-dusted cherries, and subtle notes of vanilla from careful oak aging.

If you crave a wine that commands attention at the table while offering depth and complexity in every glass, Orin Swift Machete Red is your perfect pour.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
