Tasting Notes for Orin Swift Cellars Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
by gtv_john
Wine Tasted:
A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from five different lots sourced from California regions: Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Saint Helena, and Spring Mountain.
Ruby colored blend with nose of raspberry phosphate and Fig Newtons. Thin light mouthfeel with clear flavors of cran-cherry, Sen-Sen, lush Acai, hints of ginger, and new leather. Take a generous gulp and it's a big round mouthful of black cherry in exact balance, out to a lingering 45 second soft pepper finish.
I would serve this wine for:
Couples Gourmet night pre-dinner.
I shared this wine with:
The boys e sposa's before Sunday brunch; opened 3 hrs ahead.
The nose on this wine reminds me of:

This wine would pair well with the following foods:
As you will with what you wish.
I think this wine is priced:
Okay.
If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:
Needs a smidge more body; near 10 wt extra viscosity?
