The Orin Swift Papillon fills the glass with an unmistakable dark crimson, a flash of neon purple, and a ruby rim. Tears move glacially and the wine opens with aromatics of boysenberry jam, violets, chocolate-covered blueberry, and hints of Cara Cara rind, graphite, and brioche. The entry and mid-palate are bright throughout with considerable weight—tones of cassis, blackberry, and baking spices flourish. Enveloping texture, chalky, drying tannins, and an enduring finish bows out the wine.
