One day Dave Phinney went to Florence for a semester, where he fell in love with wine. Upon his return back to California, he worked in the vineyards and at the Robert Mondavi winery. In 1998, his own winery, Orin Swift, named for his father's middle name and his mother's maiden name, saw the light of day. Dave himself says his first wine sucked, the second was better and the rest is history. Today, you can taste Dave's wines in our tasting package and see for yourself that the exact opposite is true today, and Dave's wines are among California's top productions.

Bright aromas of strawberry and black cherry with subtle vanilla highlights. On the palate, creamy cherry, lemon and cola combine with a fresh body, lively bubbles and a persistent finish.

Just amazing and elegant Pinot Noir

Try the Pinot Noir wines from California. The wines are light, fresh but with a distinctive fruity character that is typical of Pinot Noir from California.

The wine has a fine ruby colour. On the nose and palate the wine is elegant with notes of ripe forest fruits, cherries, complemented by notes of forest undergrowth and sweet spices. The wine has fine and ripe tannins, juicy acidity and a very long and silky finish.
