Palermo 2021 leans into its opulent side, layering saturated blackberry and black cherry with baked blueberry, dark cocoa and a streak of sweet spice. Orin Swift’s Cabernet here is big and enveloping, with plush but assertive tannins that frame a dense, chocolate‑tinged core and a long, warming finish that feels both hedonistic and polished. This is a crowd‑pleasing, modern Napa style that favors richness and impact over restraint.

Palermo is Orin Swift Cellars’ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon—originally a receptacle for Cabernet lots that didn’t fit the house’s other labels but now produced from fruit specifically selected for this bottling. It’s a bold, hedonistic Napa cabernet showcasing ripe cassis and black cherry, dark chocolate and cedar notes with savory touches (licorice/graphite) and plush, long tannins typical of the style favored by winemaker Dave Phinney.
