Orin Swift Machete 2020

Opening aromatics on the 2020 Machete are gorgeous immediately: ripe pluot, carne asada, new cowboy boots, lilacs, espresso bean and wet concrete. On the palate, layers upon layers reveal themselves, from a plum galette topped with fior di latte gelato to 85% cacao dark chocolate to barbequed tri-tip and sweet oak . Puckering tannins to finish, the wine closes on a high note with a touch of blood orange zest and lingering acidity.
