Orin Swift is a highly celebrated California wine brand known for its bold style and provocative artistic identity. Founded by visionary winemaker Dave Phinney, the brand is a rebellion against traditional winemaking aesthetics. Its philosophy is to create wines that are as memorable and expressive on the outside as they are on the inside.

The brand's philosophy is rooted in a non-traditional approach to sourcing grapes. Instead of focusing on a single estate, Orin Swift scours various vineyards across top California appellations to find the best fruit for its blends. The wines, which are primarily red blends and single varietals, are crafted in a powerful and full-bodied style. Each bottle features a unique and often abstract or haunting label that tells a story and is a key part of the brand's artistic expression. Orin Swift has earned a reputation as a pioneer in modern American winemaking, creating cult-favorite wines like "The Prisoner" that have become a phenomenon for their rich character and unconventional appeal.
