The 2020 Orin Swift Department 66 'Others' is a full-bodied, rich red wine blend from the Côtes Catalanes region of France, primarily made from Grenache grapes. It is known for its intense dark fruit flavors, complex spice notes, and smooth finish.
Blend: While predominantly Grenache, the wine is a blend that also includes small amounts of Syrah and Carignan.
Aromas: An enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, cherry, and plum, accented by notes of pepper, herbs, and a hint of smokiness. Other notes include black fig, bitter chocolate, graphite, and dried herbs.
Palate: Full-bodied and vibrant, with dominant flavors of raspberry, black cherry, licorice, and chocolate fudge brownies. The wine offers a velvety texture with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity.
Finish: A long and elegant finish that leaves a lasting impression of dark fruit and subtle earthy undertones, with hints of minerality.
Food Pairings
The bold and robust character of the Orin Swift Department 66 'Others' pairs well with hearty, rich dishes.
Meats: Grilled meats, lamb, and robust cheeses.
Other: The spice and bitterness also make it a good match for spicy-savory foods like Indian or Thai dishes.
