PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A brooding yet vibrant expression of Napa, Palermo 2022 unfolds with bold dark fruit and savory intrigue. It’s polished and layered—ripe cassis and blackberry balanced by thyme, cedar, and a lingering spice-driven finish.
From Orin Swift Cellars, under the creative helm of Dave Phinney, known for soulful expressions and striking label art.
Palermo is crafted from premium Cabernet Sauvignon blend (with Merlot and Cabernet Franc in prior vintages) sourced from top Napa sub-regions including Rutherford, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, and Stagecoach Vineyard.
The 2022 vintage was aged for 12 months in French oak, with 31% new barrels, preserving freshness while layering in complexity.
Appearance: Deep garnet center fading to a brooding cardinal rim.
Nose: Rich aromas of crunchy cassis, muddled boysenberry, ripe elderberry, chaparral, and cedar, offering both fruit intensity and herbal depth.
Palate: Integrates juicy dark fruits with savory flair—cassis, blackberry, thyme, and savory-chaparral edges with refined structure.
Finish: Elegant and expansive, with soft tannin strands and spicy echoes of licorice, black pepper, and star anise.
Alternate Notes: Additional expressions mention blackberry pie, black cherry, orange peel, and a subtle bitter-sweet chocolate nuance.
