COMMENTARY: The 2017 Orin Swift Cellars Slander writes a new chapter on California Pinot Noir as it exhibits power over subtlety. TASTING NOTES: This is a powerful, fully-built wine. Its forceful aromas and flavors of ripe, candied fruit should pair well with a honey-based, oven-baked shoulder of ham. (Tasted: February 12, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

An elegant nose presents, with complex aromatics of ripe cherries and dried rose petals, a touch of white pepper and a hint of alpine forest. Balanced and integrated, the palate comprises of sweet strawberries, cranberries, and traces of rhubarb. The wine closes at length with a finish of toasted brioche, a dash of caramel and fresh raspberries.
