Why shop with us?
Orin Swift Papillon 2022 is a bold California red blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec adding depth and complexity. Its concentrated dark fruit, firm tannins and 13 months in French oak give it the structure and polished, layered character that define this full-bodied style.
Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, it opens with ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry. Cedar, spice and a hint of fennel bring savoury detail to the dark-fruited aromas.
The palate is full and rounded, with concentrated fruit balanced by pronounced tannins and notes of vanilla and caramel from oak ageing. Its structure should allow it to develop with time in the cellar, though it can also be enjoyed young after a little air.
Production
Papillon 2022 brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The available details do not specify vineyard sites, terroir or harvesting methods; the wine was aged for 13 months in French oak barrels.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, with time to breathe before pouring; decant for 30–60 minutes to soften the tannins and bring out its aromas. Pair it with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, a hearty mushroom dish, or aged hard cheeses.
Producer
Orin Swift Cellars was founded by winemaker Dave Phinney and is known for expressive California wines, often built around richly flavoured blends and distinctive visual design. The winery has become a recognisable name in the state’s contemporary wine scene.
