Orin Swift 2021Papillon
Selected with intention
The 2021 Orin Swift Papillon is a powerful and intensely concentrated Bordeaux-blend from Napa Valley, named for its evocative butterfly label. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, with additions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, 'Papillon' showcases the best of Dave Phinney's opulent style. The 2021 vintage was highly regarded for quality. Expect an intoxicating nose of blackcurrant, cassis, espresso, and dark chocolate, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of baking spices. On the palate, it is immensely full-bodied and richly textured, with firm yet well-integrated tannins that provide serious structure. The fruit is dense and luxurious, leading to an exceptionally long, persistent finish. A wine of impressive scale and power, built for both immediate impact and significant cellaring.
