The story of Orin Swift Cellars actually begins as a joke. David Phinney, founder of Orin Swift, never expected to become a pioneer for California wines. As a joke, in 1995, he accepted a friend's offer to spend six months in Florence. In this city, considered the cradle of culture, food, and drink, he encountered the excellence of Tuscan wines. Upon returning to California, he wanted nothing more than to further his newly discovered passion for wine. In 1997, he began working with none other than Robert Mondavi, the "pater familias" of California viticulture. In 1998, he decided to start his own business, and the rest is history. Nearly 25 years later, Orin Swift wines are special, unique, and incredibly beloved. Wine lovers literally line up for the impressive Orin Swift wines.
The Californian wines of Orin Swift
The name Orin Swift is no coincidence. Orin was David Phinney's father's middle name, and Swift was his mother's maiden name. He started with a handful of Zinfandel grapes, but has since grown this into an entire empire. Besides the common grapes Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, Orin Swift has also planted less popular varieties. Take, for example, the Orin Swift Abstract California Red. This red wine uses a trio of Grenache Noir, Petite Sirah, and Syrah to create an unparalleled wine.
The creative labels on the wine
Besides Orin Swift's sublime wines, they are also known for their extravagant labels. David Phinney has incorporated the wines' creativity into the labels. Take, for example, the unique label of the Orin Swift 8 Years in Desert. Each vintage has a different label for eight years, giving you the impression of "walking through the desert for eight years." Or the Orin Swift Le Papillon. This wine is based on Henri Charrière, nicknamed Le Papillon. He was a French criminal who escaped from the French penal colony of Devil's Island.
