Orin Swift Papillon 750ML 2017

$69.99

A Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley—comprised of all five varietals—is hard to find. That’s because it’s hard to make. We’ve been lucky to source quality fruit from long-time growers on both the valley floor and surrounding hillsides; and while finding Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec can be difficult, this wine is proof that it’s worth it. Papillion captures the Orin Swift style—accessible, massive, and memorable—and results with a bottle that always seems empty too soon. Tasting Notes: Powerful aromatics escape the glass with rich notes of ripe black currant, peppercorn, blackberry, and a touch of chaparral supported by a frame of sweet oak. Intensely layered and decadent palate on entry, the wine exudes characteristics of black plum, boysenberry, kirsch, and dark chocolate, with a silky-soft yet weighty texture. A prolonged finish of Provençal lavender, fig leaf, and ripe currants close out the wine.

Why is Red Wine "Red"?

Red wines are defined by the contact the juice has with its red grape skins. The juice is fermented (aka turned into wine) while in contact with its skins, giving red wines their color, texture and taste, mostly from the tannins.

Although a seemingly stuffy wine word – tannins are to thank for a lot of the characteristics you appreciate about red wine. In addition to fermentation on the skins, red (and white) wines can also pick up tannins from aging in oak barrels.

Technically speaking, tannins are groups of molecules that bond together, so for our sake, let's call them elements. These elements come from all parts of a grape, including the seeds, skins and stems. So, when a red wine is put in contact with these elements, it takes on their characteristics, which are typically drying in nature.
