WINE DESCRIPTION
A beautiful expression of the classic Bordeaux blend, Orin Swift Papillon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. On the nose, aromas of blackberry, cassis, and violets mingle with a hint of tobacco and mocha. On the palate, the tannins are soft, yet present, and the body is medium-bodied with a smooth finish. Flavors of blackberry, plum, and cedar are complemented by hints of black pepper and cocoa. Enjoy with a roasted rack of lamb or grilled steak.
