Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon

The wine sits in the glass with a dark mauve and crimson red rim. Classic and traditional Left Bank Bordeaux-style nose of ripe cassis, blackberry and assorted blue fruits with a touch of chapparal. The entry is robust with notes of blackberry pie, black cherry, and impressive weight. The deep and luring aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry are also intermingled with accents of star anise, five spice and freshly steeped black tea.  Soft tannins and a bright finish round out the wine with a lingering touch of orange peel.
