Read
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Mercury Head opens with gorgeous crushed black currants, blackberries and warm plums with suggestions of lavender, camphor, dark chocolate and pencil lead with a waft of smoked meats. Full-bodied, firmly structured and densely packed, it fills the mouth with vibrant, multilayered black fruits and savory notions, finishing long and perfumed. 6,650 cases produced.

About the Producer
The iconoclast, visionary and wine mogul, Dave Phinney started Orin Swin in 1998, Orin is his father's middle name and Swift is his mother's maiden name. With two tons of zinfandel and not much else, Dave carted around Napa Valley slangin' wine out of his trunk (seriously, we remember these early days!) he spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand into an international sensation.
