Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a Napa Valley Cabernet crafted to reflect both the breadth of the AVA and the winemaker’s bold vision. It’s made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc drawn from high-quality sites across Napa, yielding a wine of density, richness, and character. Maturation unfolds in French oak, with a portion new, lending structure and polish without masking vineyard expression. Positioned just behind Orin Swift’s flagship blends like Papillon and Mercury Head, Palermo stands as a powerful, approachable yet layered Cabernet built to impress now and to reward careful cellaring.

The wine pours with a dark garnet core that fades to a brooding cardinal rim. It opens with lush cassis and muddled boysenberry, layered with ripe elderberry, chaparral, and cedar. On the palate, the aromas continue with blackberry, savory herbs like thyme, and a thrilling interplay of ripe dark fruits with complex, savory undertones. The finish is long and velvety, with soft tannin chains lingering alongside hints of licorice, black pepper, and star anise.

Orin Swift

Orin Swift is a highly celebrated California wine brand known for its bold style and provocative artistic identity. Founded by visionary winemaker Dave Phinney, the brand is a rebellion against traditional winemaking aesthetics. Its philosophy is to create wines that are as memorable and expressive on the outside as they are on the inside.

The brand's philosophy is rooted in a non-traditional approach to sourcing grapes. Instead of focusing on a single estate, Orin Swift scours various vineyards across top California appellations to find the best fruit for its blends. The wines, which are primarily red blends and single varietals, are crafted in a powerful and full-bodied style. Each bottle features a unique and often abstract or haunting label that tells a story and is a key part of the brand's artistic expression. Orin Swift has earned a reputation as a pioneer in modern American winemaking, creating cult-favorite wines like "The Prisoner" that have become a phenomenon for their rich character and unconventional appeal.
