Orin Swift Papillon Red Blend 2018

A neon indigo pours into the glass and sits with a dark garnet core and a lucid cardinal tint. A boisterous nose escapes the glass with aromatics of ripe boysenberry, kirsch, mixed dark berry pie, California Coastal sagebrush and chaparral. Delectable and plush on the palate, notes of blackberry and sweet black licorice culminate in a finish of dusty tannins and ripe black plum. This 2018 vintage from Orin Swift showcases the winemaker's signature bold approach to blending, delivering a wine that commands attention from first sip to last. The interplay of fruit-forward character and subtle earthiness makes this an exceptional choice for those seeking complexity without pretension. Whether you're pairing it with grilled meats, rich pasta dishes, or enjoying it alongside a thoughtful evening, Papillon offers the depth and sophistication that elevates any occasion. A standout addition to any wine collection that refuses to fade into the background.
