ORIN SWIFT COTES CATALANES “D66” GRENACHE’09 - “This is a true Orin Swift wine- rich, opulent, hedonistic, and seductive. Almost black in color, it’ll coat your glass with silky layers of dark fruit, spice, and moist earth. Notes of bitter cherry, raisins, toasty vanilla, and exotic Asian spices are all perfectly balanced out in the 15.2 alcohol content. A nice amount of tannin on the finish distinguishes it from just your average big nasty fruit bomb. It’s truly gorgeous.”…79.99
