Description
For many years, Abstract has followed its namesake by showing off an assemblage of Grenache, Petite Sirah and Syrah. Together, the wine stands on its own as a unique peek into Orin Swift; each varietal brings its own characteristics providing a depth and complexity. Immediate aromatics escape the glass: blueberry, Mirabelle plum, ripe raspberry, cherry and musk. On entry, the wine is seamless and enveloping with notes of Black plum, sweet cassis and blueberry compote on the mid-palate. Textured and long on the finish, the wine closes with a hint of dried lavender and dark chocolate.
