The 2015 'Palermo' Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous effort in this vintage from Orin Swift. Slowly opening to a highly perfumed nose of crème de cassis, dried sage, black tea and black cherry pie all coming together harmoniously in the glass. The palate has wonderful weight and a seamless texture. There are deep concentrated flavors reminiscent of black cherry, black olive, crème de cassis, mocha, and boysenberry liquor. With mild tannins and a gorgeous mouthfeel, this modern style Cabernet should provide drinking enjoyment for a decade or more. (Best 2017-2029) - July, 2017 (OB)
