Description

The 2020 Orin Swift Machete California Red Wine offers a distinctive experience for those exploring robust Californian blends.
Crafted by Orin Swift, this wine embodies a commitment to bold flavors and a memorable profile. The 2020 vintage, sourced from California's diverse wine regions, presents a rich tapestry of dark fruit notes, including blackberry and black cherry, complemented by nuances of vanilla, cocoa, and subtle spice. It's a wine that unfolds with each sip, revealing layers of character derived from a thoughtful blend of grapes.
Critics have generally received the 2020 Machete positively. While specific scores can vary, it frequently earns ratings in the low 90s, with some reviews reaching as high as 94 points from various wine publications. These assessments often point to its intensity, full-bodied nature, and well-integrated structure, suggesting good potential for enjoyment now or with some cellar aging. For example, Natalie MacLean awarded the 2020 Machete 92/100 points, noting its "deep, dark, full-bodied and full-flavoured Durif, Syrah and Grenache red wine blend, generous and concentrated with dark plum, blueberry, dark cherry and cocoa flavours with a hint of coconut on the palate." Owen Bargreen also highlighted its "sweet pipe tobacco, dark chocolate molten cake, and blueberry compote aromas."
The Machete displays a notable presence on the palate, yet maintains a certain elegance. Its tannins are typically well-handled, contributing to a smooth texture that lingers. This is a wine that can certainly hold its own.
In terms of availability, the 2020 Orin Swift Machete typically retails for around £45 to £60 in the UK, or approximately $55-$60 USD. It's a price point that positions it as a considered choice for those seeking a well-regarded, characterful red wine.
This wine can be a suitable accompaniment to hearty meals such as grilled meats or aged cheeses, or it can be appreciated on its own to explore its evolving profile. The 2020 Orin Swift Machete offers a compelling expression of California winemaking.
The bottle has been professionally stored for the past three years with invoices to support.
