Varietal Composition: Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah
Being stranded in a desert leaves a lot to be desired—how to get back home, where to find food, water and shelter, and thoughts of survival. For eight years in the early 2010s, Orin Swift Cellars was barred from making any Zinfandel wines. From the grape that started everything OSC, the ‘desert’ gave them an opportunity to explore the diverse range of California’s grape varietals. But, as soon as those eight years were up, they had a plan in place to pay homage to our home.
