Orin Swift 2024 You Had Me At Hell No Merlot

Tasting Notes

This Merlot from Napa Valley opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and plum layered with hints of mocha, clove, and cedar. On the palate, it is lush and full-bodied, delivering flavors of dark cherry, cassis, and cocoa framed by supple tannins and balanced acidity. The wine’s texture is velvety yet powerful, with a lingering finish that showcases both fruit purity and oak integration. Its richness makes it an ideal partner for braised short ribs, grilled ribeye, or duck confit, while its smoothness also complements mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, and aged cheeses such as Gouda or Comté. The wine’s versatility allows it to shine in both elevated dining settings and casual gatherings, where its bold personality enhances hearty fare.
