Orin Swift Papillon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Ron R

Brief notes. Very well done. Just lacking the density we like in a Napa cab. Otherwise, great.

So, now it’s yours truly with the artsy fartsy stuff. Really loving the 15 vintage. Excellent notes of cherry jam and new oak on the nose. Palate displays black fruits, nutmeg and a hint of anise. Pappy always delivers...

Joseph LaPanna

Inky purple with a garnet rim. Expressive aromas of stewed plum, cassis and blackberries with chocolate and coffee undertones. Full throttle with black current, blackberry and blueberries mixed with intense middle eastern spices. The finish is long and meaty with a hint of smoke.

Still a bit young to drink. Hits you with a ton of oak, both on the nose and on the palate. After you cut through the oak, there’s a lot of heat. Dig a little deeper and you get sage and dried berries. People seem to love this wine. Me, on the other hand...

Ready to rock, even a touch too ready.

Richard Davies

Lots of body. Very nice. Slight sweet edge.

E & K G

Never fails to impress. Cassis, dark cherries followed up by come mocha then tobacco. Decanted for two hours and it was extremely smooth on the palate though it was dense and carried good weight.

Rufus King

Full-bodied, rich red blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) from Orin Swift in Napa, medium acid and tannin, astringent, with blackberries and a little spice (menthol?) gift from friends

Sweet and smooth . As American as apple pie

Allyson O'Keefe

High alcohol on the nose. Lush, velvety notes of black & red currants, raspberry, dark cocoa, cherry cordial, & leather. Complex. Surprisingly low tannin; just enough to dry your mouth on the finish without punching you in the face. High acidity. Excellent red blend.
