Orin Swift Machete Petite Sirah is a bold, California red built for those who crave dark fruit concentration and structure. The Petite Sirah backbone delivers dense black fruit, mocha notes, and spicy complexity, all wrapped in toasty oak and a firm, lingering finish. A solid choice for cellaring or pairing with grilled meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.
