Wine from Akita
Filter
The Akita prefecture is situated on the beautiful lush island of Honshu and boasts of beautiful mountain ranges, velvety forests, and crisp blue lakes. This prefecture is a beautiful region that has been labeled as an ideal land for sake production. The Akita prefecture is the fourth sake producing region and is known as a fantastic land filled with high quality rice, cool water, and nice cool weather that aid sake brewing. The cold and frigid winters often bring large amounts of snow. The Akita prefecture’s first record is dated the year 658, but in 733, Akita Castle was built in the region and more roads and buildings were crafted as a result. The region remained mostly separated from Japanese culture and society until around the year 600, due to its location. The prefecture was the home of mostly tribes and hunters. The Akita prefecture is situated far from sprawling metropolitan areas, which is one of the reasons why some believe that sake production only escalated during the 20th century, when technology and transportation expanded. Today, there are roughly 50 breweries in the prefecture. The breweries initially crafted ginjo, but today, the region produces some of the best sakes because of its lush landscapes and climate.

Orin Swift 'Slander' Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Staying humble and letting the grapes do the talking is how we get better at winemaking every vintage. Pinot Noir requires even more humility, especially in the vineyards – when the grapes are ready, they’re ready. Requiring a gentler approach with punchdowns rather than pumpovers, Pinot Noir expresses itself when it is lead manipulated. Slander is the union of California Pinot Noir made in the Orin Swift signature style delivering a bold and expressive wine.
There are several fantastic growing regions in California bes t suited to Pinot Noir—from down in Santa Barbara County to up north in the Anderson Valley to everywhere in between. We’ve been fortunate to source Pinot Noir from across the state in many of these ideal locales for years . Finnick y, sensitive and with lots of personality, the varietal requires a long growing season and relatively mild weather to ripen and develop its beautiful flavors , all while retaining its brightness . Sourced from the Rancho Real, Annapolis, Del Rio, Laguna and a few other vineyards, this vintage of Slander is an example of the sum being greater than its parts. WINEMAKER’S NOT
The 2022 Slander delivers a medium ruby core with a lucid rim that-s almost translucent. Aromatically, Bing cherry, briar fruit and some raspberry give way to ripe strawberry and associated red fruits. Bright and enveloping on the entry, notes of fresh strawberry, watermelon, thyme and a hint of funk come through. Spicy on the finish, the wine closes with a flash of blue fruits and lift.
