Orin Swift, Papillon
Napa Cabernet built like a Bordeaux blend, with all five grapes. Big, dark and polished, and ready young.

Big, dark and polished, with enough fruit to stand up to hours of wood smoke. The house red of this cellar and the safest thing to open when the food is loud.
How it tastes
Blackberry and dark cherry, dried herb, a savory grilled edge, and a little licorice.
Full-bodied and dry, rich and smooth rather than grippy. Soft tannin for its size.
How to serve it
Plush enough to drink now. Half an hour opens the savory edge.
Plush enough on release; the 2017 is at its peak.
Pour it with
- Tri-Tip Smoked Like a Brisket The savory edge meets the smoke
- Texas Brisket Weight against the bark
- Sous Vide Prime Chuck Burger Plush wine, fatty beef
