About the wine maker

DAVE PHINNEY,
WINEMAKER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR &
FOUNDER OF ORIN SWIFT CELLARS

Dave Phinney, the creative force behind

Orin Swift Cellars, has been breaking con-
ventions in winemaking for over 20 years,

creating renowned wines like 8 Years in the
Desert and Mercury Head. He’s also the
creative force behind the breakthrough
labels and newly opened tasting room in
St. Helena. He’s made a name for himself
for both quality and originality.

Growing up, Dave was equally inspired in
museums and skateparks. His interest in
wine was sparked as a college student

traveling in Europe. Back home in California,
his passion led him to a job harvesting
grapes, which slowly grew across the
entire wine production process.

Orin Swift is named after his parents,
combining his father’s middle name, Orin,
and his mother’s maiden name, Swift.
Dave’s vineyard-first approach sources
quality California fruit, producing bold
wines like Zinfandel blends and Napa
Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the Orin Swift tasting room, Dave has

created an immersive experience, incorpo-
rating highly considered design details.

Outside work, he travels with his family,
gathering inspiration for future labels.

“THERE’S A SOUL TO

THIS BUSINESS. THAT

SOUL ISN’T JUST

FROM THE PEOPLE

WHO MAKE WINE;

IT’S EVERYONE WHO

LOVES WINES THAT

MAKE THEM FEEL

SOMETHING.”
