Orin Swift
Mercury Head Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Lush. Deep ruby and powerful nose. Winter kitchen goodness. Black cherry, spices, washes over your palette with a silky elegance. What a cab should represent.

Big - high alcohol, tons of fruit, oak, etc. A bit medicinal / vegetal that came across as slightly unintegrated. For me this needs a big fatty steak, ideally in a couple years after a long decent.

Needs at least 2 hours to decant. Super full bodied. A tad too green vegetal for me. #2GU #MiniWineReview

Deep purple with ripe blackcurrants, blackberry, and oak on the nose. Hot and high alcohol on the palate with sweet black fruit predominant over any tannic structure or acidity.

Underwhelming. Given the provenance & price point I had high expectations. What I got was thin & one dimensional.
