Orin Swift Merlot Advice From John - 2024

$45.00

Dave Phinney's Orin Swift built its name on bold California reds with striking label art, and Advice From John is the house Merlot, a recent addition to the lineup. The 2024 is classic Phinney: dark, plush and unapologetically rich, with blackberry pie and black plum aromatics leading into a flood of dark fruit, fennel and licorice. Merlot with swagger. For the Cabernet drinker who swears Merlot is soft, this is the counterargument.

Blackberry pie, black plum, sage and lilac aromas. Dark fruit floods the mid-palate with savory fennel and licorice. Espresso bean and blackberry ride a long finish over gentle, soft tannins.

Smash burgers, coffee-rubbed brisket, flourless chocolate cake.
