2019 Orin Swift 'Slander' Pinot Noir

Emerging from the bottle with a glowing cardinal hue, the 2019 Slander opens with a mouthwatering nose of bright strawberry and Rainier cherry with shades of milk chocolate, passion fruit and pink guava. The palate is refined, incredibly balanced and energetic throughout with ripples of acidity; notes of cranberry, sweet cherry pie, sour plum, black mission fig , graham cracker and chocolate covered almond. The wine closes with a mediating acidity and an almost unnoticeable dash of oak tannin.
