Orin Swift 2022 Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
A brooding yet vibrant expression of Napa, Palermo 2022 unfolds with bold dark fruit and savory intrigue. It’s polished and layered—ripe cassis and blackberry balanced by thyme, cedar, and a lingering spice-driven finish.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
From Orin Swift Cellars, under the creative helm of Dave Phinney, known for soulful expressions and striking label art.
-
Palermo is crafted from premium Cabernet Sauvignon blend (with Merlot and Cabernet Franc in prior vintages) sourced from top Napa sub-regions including Rutherford, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, and Stagecoach Vineyard.
-
The 2022 vintage was aged for 12 months in French oak, with 31% new barrels, preserving freshness while layering in complexity.
Tasting Profile
-
Appearance: Deep garnet center fading to a brooding cardinal rim.
-
Nose: Rich aromas of crunchy cassis, muddled boysenberry, ripe elderberry, chaparral, and cedar, offering both fruit intensity and herbal depth.
-
Palate: Integrates juicy dark fruits with savory flair—cassis, blackberry, thyme, and savory-chaparral edges with refined structure.
-
Finish: Elegant and expansive, with soft tannin strands and spicy echoes of licorice, black pepper, and star anise.
-
Alternate Notes: Additional expressions mention blackberry pie, black cherry, orange peel, and a subtle bitter-sweet chocolate nuance.
