Color: Darker garnet
Nose: Very good and plush here with just a hint of smoke now. More loam at the moment and with good wet earth and red/black fruit swirls.
Palate: Bright fruit medley here from the nose, with smooth tannins, cassis and more of a Bing cherry finish with cassis underneath and great structure.

Orin Swift Napa Valley Papillon
Region: Napa Valley, California
Winery: Orin Swift Cellars
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot
Rating: 4
Color: Dark garnet
Nose: Smoky, but with great fruit depth of red and black, then some mint and licorice at the end.
Palate: Not quite integrated yet with the forward oak, but the fruit tannin acidity and mouthfeel is so good that you just know it's going to be great in 2-3 years.
