Orin Swift 2018 Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L Magnum
93 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Orin Swift 2018 Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum delivers a rich and expressive interpretation of classic Napa Valley Cabernet in an impressive 1.5-liter format. Aromas of ripe cassis, blackberry, black cherry, kirsch, and Black Forest cake are layered with notes of dark chocolate, dried mint, rose hip tea, cedar, and subtle cigar. The medium- to full-bodied palate is generous and concentrated, offering lush black fruit framed by velvety tannins and lively freshness. Hints of crème caramel, bay leaf, currants, and graphite add complexity, while 12 months in French oak, 38% new, brings polished texture and spice. A powerful yet balanced Napa Cabernet with a long, fragrant finish and excellent aging potential.
