Orin Swift Cellars, founded by winemaker Dave Phinney, is renowned for its bold and innovative wines. Mercury Head is a distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the best of Napa Valley's terroir. This wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, employing traditional winemaking techniques with a modern twist. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards, ensuring a rich and concentrated flavor profile. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks and is aged in French oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth. On the palate, it reveals layers of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of vanilla, spice, and a hint of tobacco. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant finish. Mercury Head pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
