Orin Swift Cellars-Machete-Petite Sirah-Syrah-Grenache-Napa-California-2013-15.7% Alcohol-$47.99-A nose of brooding dark fruit and spice, dark black purple in color. A big full bodied red blend, with blackberry, plum, vanilla and spice on long finish. I believe its still too young to drink, or needs a very long decant, one of those wines you love or hate. A very cool label (one of 7 each year) RP-95+ WS-93 (Top 100: 2015, Rank: 97) CR-91 Good with steak, chicken, pasta. One Cork Bonus.
