Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet 2018

92 Points  James Suckling 
Big and ripe wine, but it shows outstanding tannic backbone and richness. Full body, lots of fruit, but this still shows form. Drink now.

91 Points - The Wine Advocate Robert M. Parker Jr. 
All Napa Valley fruit and a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a little Merlot and Malbec, was aged only 10 months in 35% new French oak. Bottled early to accentuate its fruit, this wine has soft, low-acid flavors, plenty of creme de cassis, chocolate and tobacco leaf, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and a long finish. It should drink well for the next 10-15 years, perhaps longer.

Deep and luring aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry are intermingled with accents of star anise, five spice and freshly steeped black tea. The entry is smooth with a combination of cassis and blackberry with a satiating suppleness. Ultra round and soft, the wine finishes with reverberating length.
