Orin Swift

Mercury Head Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Five stars. It's obvious, I think. I love wines from Orin Swift Cellars. And this cabernet sauvignon is one of my favorites. Deep, intense and with feeling. The nose is a vanilla and then: a plum and a sour blackberry. The end: a leather. And there's more, but I can't recognize. Like a secret (out of necessity). :) Mercury Head gives me joy. I have to buy another bottle. It's better than Palermo. — 6 years ago

Louis M. Martini

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

I've had 2013 (CS) from this producer. This one isn't worse. A bitter cherry, some vanilla and a leather and earthy notes. During the drinking I've felt longing for "Palermo" (Orin Swift Cellars), my favorite CS from California. But I've promised my self that I'll wait for it to 2022 (I have "Palermo" from 2017 and I want to see how it has changed). Interesting ... so many thoughts about a different wine than the one currently drunk. :) — 5 years ago

Orin Swift Cellars

Machete Petite Sirah Blend

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.

Orin Swift Cellars

Abstract Grenache Blend

16 is darker, deeper, and better than 15. I'll take this over the palermo and the papillon (which is double the price). It's very extracted and definitely hints at manipulation, but's a fun wine for the price. — 7 years ago
