Orin Swift “Mannequin” Chardonnay

Orin Swift “Mannequin” Chardonnay (California) pours a luminous golden hue with an emerald shimmer and combines ripe stone fruit—think yellow peach, Bosc pear, melon—with hints of crème fraîche, graham cracker, honeysuckle, jasmine, and toasted oak from French oak sur lie aging (8–9 months, ~25–39% new) .
 
Crafted by Dave Phinney, the wine sources Chardonnay from cool and warm microclimates across California—Russian River, Atlas Peak, Santa Maria—and blends them into a luxuriously balanced expression reflecting the state's diversity.
 
The 2021 vintage earned 90 points from Wine Advocate, praised for its toasty cashew, grilled peach, vanilla aromas, and lush, tropical-fruit finish; the 2022 release received 91 points from Wine Advocate with notes of lemon curd, toasted nuts, and white peach.
