The 2022 Slander delivers a medium ruby core with a lucid rim that’s almost translucent. Aromatically, bing cherry, briar fruit and some raspberry give way to ripe strawberry and associated red fruits. Bright and enveloping on the entry, notes of fresh strawberry, watermelon, thyme and a hint of funk come through. Spicy on the finish, the wine closes with a flash of blue fruits and lift.
Staying humble and letting the grapes do the talking is how we get better at winemaking every vintage. Pinot Noir requires even more humility, especially in the vineyards – when the grapes are ready, they’re ready. Requiring a gentler approach with punchdowns rather than pumpovers, Pinot Noir expresses itself when it is lead manipulated. Slander is the union of California Pinot Noir made in the Orin Swift signature style delivering a bold and expressive wine.
Wine Advocate Review:
Orin Swift's 2022 Pinot Noir Slander is a blend of fruit from the Santa Lucia Highlands and Russian River Valley. Bold and fruit forward, it offers up scents of cherries and raspberries on the nose, then delivers a creamy, lush mouthfeel. It lacks a bit of varietal character, finishing warm and soft on the finish (no real surprise, as it's labeled at 15.4% alcohol). Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2028
