Orin Swift

Mercury Head Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Testing quite nice after 17 years. This 2007 vintage from this noted California cab producer was quite impressive. The harmony between tannins and fruits still very much evident. I might even guess that it may have a few more years on it. Nice treat. The last of my Mercury Head. Sigh….. — 12 days ago

Orin Swift

Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Slightly lighter than our normal Napa Cabs and softer notes on the nose, but definitely worth adding to the “yes” list. Fruit forward with little to no bite, smooth not velvety. — 12 days ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

First time with this wine. PnP and probably could have used a decant. Great weight. Lots of black olive, herbs. Good but missing something (touch of acidity?) to make it great — 4 days ago
