Orin Swift 2020 Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Orin Swift 2020 Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and expressive Napa Valley Cabernet that showcases the bold, polished style of Orin Swift Cellars. Classic aromas of cassis, black cherry, chaparral, and intriguing butterscotch lead to a generous palate layered with ripe raspberry, crème caramel, bay leaf, and both red and black currants. The wine's substantial tannins provide structure and depth while gradually softening with age, creating a long and satisfying finish. Aged for 12 months in French oak, 38% new, this full-bodied Napa Cabernet offers a compelling combination of ripe fruit, savory complexity, and polished oak character.
