Orin Swift Advice From John Merlot

Red Wine from the Napa Valley region in USA.

Bursting with dark fruit aromas of blackberry and black plum, complemented by liquorice. On the palate, rich, smooth tannins balance the concentrated fruit, finishing long with hints of espresso bean and gentle spice.

Enjoy with charcuterie, mushroom risotto, or a juicy burger. It’s a versatile, crowd-pleasing wine for relaxed evenings, celebrations, or anytime you want a Merlot that’s both bold and approachable.

Tasting Notes

Orin Swift Advice From John Merlot

A bold, dark‑fruited Merlot with Orin Swift’s signature intensity, blending richness, attitude and a playful nod to the irreverent spirit behind its creation.

Tasting Notes:

  • The aromas burst from the glass with blackberry pie, black plum, lilac and a touch of sage.
  • The palate is immediately full and enveloping, carrying waves of dark fruit that settle into savoury notes of fennel and liquorice.
  • As it stretches out, the wine reveals a long, concentrated finish where espresso bean and soft, velvety tannins linger.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does terroir influence this wine?

Sourced from premium California vineyards, the terroir - sun‑soaked soils, controlled water stress, and optimal diurnal temperature swings - produces ripe black fruit, layered aromatics, and structured tannins.

How is this wine made?
  1. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested at peak ripeness
  2. Fermentation emphasises extraction of aromatics, colour, and mid-palate structure
  3. Aged for 14 months in French oak, 25% of which is new, adding subtle spice, vanilla, and silky texture without overpowering the fruit
How should it be served?

Serve slightly below room temperature (16–18°C) in a large wine glass to concentrate aromatics and showcase layered fruit and oak notes.

Is this Merlot suitable for aging?

Yes, while approachable now, the structure and oak integration allow 3–5 years of cellar aging for deeper complexity.
