From the winery: 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.

Slander is not your run-of-the-mill Pinot Noir. It's a full bodied expression of a grape the world has come to love. Bursting aromas of strawberry, cherries and savory tones of lavender and thyme. This wine has subtle soft tannins, showing the sophisticated integration of balanced oak that finishes with a creamy mouthfeel. This is the Pinot Noir for the Cab drinker.
