Orin Swift 2021 Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Orin Swift 2021 Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a rich and expressive interpretation of classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, chaparral, and intriguing butterscotch lead into a generous palate layered with ripe raspberry, crème caramel, bay leaf, and both red and black currants. Structured and full-bodied, the wine carries prominent tannins through a long, satisfying finish that will soften and integrate with additional bottle age. Aged for 12 months in French oak, 38% new, this polished Napa Cabernet offers a compelling balance of ripe fruit, savory complexity, and oak-driven depth.
