Orin Swift Papillon Bordeaux Blend, from Napa Valley, is a commanding and opulent red that showcases the artistry of winemaker Dave Phinney. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, it opens with seductive aromas of blackberry, cassis, and plum, layered with notes of graphite, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, Orin Swift Papillon reveals rich, concentrated fruit enveloped in velvety tannins, supported by balanced acidity and fine oak integration. The finish is long and elegant, echoing hints of spice, espresso, and tobacco. Bold yet beautifully composed, it pairs perfectly with grilled beef, lamb shanks, or aged hard cheeses, highlighting its depth and sophistication. Orin Swift Papillon Bordeaux Blend 2019 embodies the essence of modern Napa luxury, powerful, polished, and profoundly expressive. A cellar-worthy wine that rewards both patience and indulgence. Alcohol 15.4%. Closure: cork.
