Description
James Suckling Review Rated 96 A super-concentrated, trim and age-worthy red that's structured and deep, with black cherry flavors on an elegant texture. Very focused, showing supple tannins and slightly restrained fruit, graphite, cocoa, black olive and tobacco leaf flavors. Full-bodied but still balanced. Drink now or hold.
Wine Tasting Notes Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon represents Orin Swift's flagship wine, embodying their core belief that exceptional grapes are essential for crafting outstanding wine. Sourced from premier vineyards in Napa Valley, this wine serves as a tribute to these vineyards, our philosophy, and the remarkable potential of Napa Valley. The Liberty Dime adorning each bottle holds special significance, symbolizing Dave's cherished childhood coin and most treasured possession.
A deep, nearly opaque garnet hue fills the glass, accompanied by slow, graceful tears. The initial bouquet offers enticing aromas of luscious cassis, charred ribeye, sandalwood, and freshly sawn oak - further exploration reveals even more. The first taste unfolds a sophisticated tapestry of flavors, including blackberry, black plum, fennel, licorice, and dark chocolate. Subsequent sips unveil a harmonious, multi-layered wine with a profound cassis essence. The wine concludes with a sweet, lingering finish, complemented by velvety, slightly chalky tannins.
