The 2018 Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, full-bodied red from the Napa Valley, highly regarded for its power and consistency during a "bountiful" and "near perfect" vintage. Created by winemaker David Phinney, this vintage benefited from high yields that allowed fruit to be sourced from top-tier sites like Stagecoach and Sun Lake vineyards.

• Aromas: The nose is intense, featuring ripe cassis, boysenberry, and black cherry, layered with complex notes of graphite, cedar, fir ash, and a touch of vanilla or butterscotch.
• Palate: Described as "seamless" and "muscular," it offers lush blackberry and Bing cherry flavors with hints of sweet red licorice and dark chocolate.
• Finish: The finish is long and elegant, marked by "well-developed," "sticky" tannins and a tapering note of black tea.
• Alcohol: 15.2% – 15.5% ABV.
