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.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This special Orin Swift Papillon is a complex, structured, and elegant wine with a delicious bouquet of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and subtle notes of rose petal and baking spices.On the palate, there is a velvety mouthfeel with a well-balanced acidity, and a lengthy finish that lingers with a hint of sweet tobacco. Enjoy this delicious wine now or cellar for future enjoyment.
