Orin Swift Cellars Papillon

Founded in 1998 by winemaker Dave Phinney, Orin Swift’s imaginative and exciting approach to brand innovation and winemaking has led to international acclaim and an intensely loyal following. Dave named Orin Swift as a tribute to his family – Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name. He spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today. We welcome you to stop by and visit us at our Napa Valley tasting room located in downtown St. Helena.

Description

WINE NOTES: The 2017 Orin Swift Papillon’s powerful aromatics escape the glass with rich notes of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, peppercorn and a touch of chaparral supported by a frame of sweet oak. Intensely layered and decadent on entry, the wine exudes characteristics of black plum, boysenberry, kirsch and dark chocolate with a silky soft yet weighty texture. A prolonged finish of Provençal lavender, fig leaf and ripe currants close out the wine.
