Orin Swift Mercury Head is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon representing the winery's flagship red wine — a pure expression of what founder and winemaker Dave Phinney describes as simply the best Cabernet they can make. Sold here in a 1.5L magnum format (case of 6), it delivers exceptional aging potential and makes a striking presentation.

The wine pours with an opaque garnet core and dark cardinal rim with shimmering purple tones. The nose offers an abundance of blue fruits, blackcurrant, licorice, baking spices, lavender, and crushed gravel. On the palate, notes of blackberry, dark chocolate, espresso bean, and blue and black fruits are delivered with tremendous yet balanced weight. Chalky tannins lead to a long finish with hints of blueberry reduction and Herbs de Provence. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 13 months in French oak with 60% new barrels.

Only the best vineyard blocks from Napa Valley are selected after numerous trials to make the final Mercury Head blend, making this one of Orin Swift's most coveted releases.
