Orin Swift has never shied away from new ideas. Sign of the Times is exactly that — a reflection of the uncanny moment we find ourselves as art and the artificial tests our intelligence and the line between real and surreal dissolves. Fear and optimism are easy gut reactions to new technology. Curiosity takes work. With every revolution, you can resist or jump in — the important thing is to do neither blind.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Grenache. An opaque fuchsia core and a crimson laced rim introduces one to the 2023 Sign of the Times. Pleasing opening aromatics have notes of black plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and leather. The palate centers the attention with tones of blue fruits , more cassis , a hint of licorice and sweet oak. Well integrated tannins keep the wine approachable in its youth while the balancing acidity gives it some aging potential.
