The pro reviewer has it right: if you like Papillon you should seek out Aftermath. This 2014 might have been a wee bit past, or before, its prime: smooth; paired well with filet; but without the “kick” that would prompt me to rate it higher. I will go get a newer vintage and wait… — 7 months ago

The big bad expensive Jericho Canyon now available in GA!!! This their 2013 Cab. At almost 200 a bottle I am a bit disappointed. If it were 75 dollars Id give it a 9.2. Its 14.9% acl/vol. Big dark fruit up front and a bit or orange peal on the mid palate. The fish is pretty dry and oaky. Its a great wine for a wealthy palate. I prefer a good Orin Swift Papillon!!!!! — 8 years ago

The label is, as usual, original. It's my fourth wine from Orin Swift Cellars (after "Abstract", "Papillon" and "Palermo"). And it's fantastic.
it is a blend of petite syrah, syrah and grenache. Ink color. The nose is full of fruity aromas: a plum, a blackberry and a blackcurrant and sweet liqueur aromas. Also the palate. But there you can also find a leather and a cocoa. Pleasant acidic finale reduces sweetness and closes this wine. — 7 years ago
Absolutely beautiful red. We drank this with some cheese, would also go beautifully with meat and even on its own. No harsh tannins and such a smooth wine. Can't wait to have more. Very subtle barossa wine. — 8 years ago
Dave Phinney is a genius! Orin Swift Cellars Palermo 2015 cabernet sauvignon is FANTASTIC! Blackberry spice and everything nice. A tingle on the tongue and a bouquet of fun. What more could you ask for. Theres an oaky finish and a chocolate after taste that leaves your palate hungry for more!!!!!! Almost as good as his Papillon, which gets a perfect 10! It is a 70 dollar blend!! My personal favorite wine right now. Look up Orin Swift Cellars!!!!! Unfortunately they do not deliver to georgia but I have a good liquor store in town that gets it for me. — 8 years ago
