 | Orin Swift 2005 "Papillon" Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley - $55 Tasting Notes: What an impressive young Cabernet! Well-integrated notes of coffee bean, black currant and chocolate, the wine is elegant, full-bodied, and expansive and fleshy, beautifully nuanced and nicely structured, with plush, silky tannins. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc 7% Malbec, 2% Petite Verdot. The Label: Once again, as with The Prisoner, the artwork is as impressive as the wine: The label is a photo taken by world renowned photographer and wine lover, Greg Gorman, of vineyard manager Vince Tofanelli's hands. Fun Fact: Apparently Dave has always been a fan of the 1973 prison-break movie "Papillon" starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman! |
