Papillon Orion Swift

Orin Swift Papillon
Red Blend | Napa Valley, California | 15.1% ABV

Nose: Bold and aromatic, with powerful notes of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, wrapped in layers of graphite, cigar box, violet, and toasted oak.

Palate: Full-bodied and intense, offering dense flavors of black currant, plum, and chocolate-covered espresso bean. Hints of pencil shavings, spice, and vanilla add complexity, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity.

Finish: Long and commanding, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earthy spice, and well-integrated oak that taper into a polished, powerful close.

Grapes: A Bordeaux-style blend featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.

Pairings: Pairs beautifully with dry-aged steak, grilled lamb, duck confit, or a rich mushroom Wellington.
