Swick 3-Pack Natural Wine Bundle
A three-bottle look at Swick’s fresh, easygoing style.
This bundle brings together Poolz 2 2022, Bring It 2022, and Chillable Red 2023, three natural reds spanning Oregon and Washington, each with its own take on bright fruit, freshness, and drinkability.
Poolz 2 2022 blends Pinot Noir from the Chehalem Mountains with Mourvèdre from Yakima Valley for a lifted, vibrant red with plenty of freshness.
Bring It 2022 is an Oregon and Washington blend built mostly from free-run barrels, showing bright red stone fruit, juicy fruit on the palate, and a tart finish.
Chillable Red 2023 leans darker and spicier, with brambly berry fruit, savory florals, and black pepper.
Together, the three bottles offer a broad snapshot of Swick’s style from bright and juicy to savory and spicy, all in one bundle.

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.
