Orin Swift Cellars Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California

Winemaker Notes

The upfront aromatics of the wine transports one to the Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards listed above during harvest; notes of ripe and crunchy blackcurrant means it’s almost time to pick. The nose of the 2019 Mercury Head has a concentrated dose of that aroma along with some redcurrant, fresh thyme, sandalwood and garrigue. Profound, yet classic, the palate expresses blackberry and raspberry preserves, a touch of rhubarb and toffee with some black tea and licorice accents. A final hint of chocolate covered espresso bean and ultra-soft tannins frames the extensive finish.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with herb-crusted rack of lamb or dark chocolate desserts.
