Mercury Head Orin Swift 2022
An almost-black, opaque garnet core sits in the glass with slow-moving tears falling down the sides. Immediate aromatic notes of ripe cassis, charred ribeye, sandalwood and freshly cut oak pilfer — breathe deeper for more.
The first taste reveals a complex, layered conundrum of blackberry, black plum, fennel, licorice and dark chocolate.
Further exploration peels back the layers to reveal a rich and balanced wine with a deep cassis core. A sweet linger on the finish closes the wine with softly textured chalky tannins.
