Orin Swift was founded in 1998, by renegade Dave Phinney, who left a budding career as lawyer to start his own wine label, named after his parents – combining his father’s middle name, Orin and mother’s maiden name, Swift.
He sources fruit from around the key viticultural regions of California, with a focus on Rhone and Bordeaux blends in reds and Chardonnay, of course, for whites. A Californian cult winemaker par excellence.
Hailed by Wine Spectator Magazine as 'one of the most influential and innovative winemakers in California’, his powerful, individual wines are matched by the individuality of this labels, each of which are works of art in themselves.
