The 2013 Papillon Proprietary Red is 100% from Napa and is a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. This killer wine has an inky purple color and offers notes of espresso roast intermixed with white chocolate, creme de cassis, blackberry and a touch of toasty oak. The wine was aged 16 months in French oak, of which 40% was new. Broad and opulent, with great intensity, purity and depth, this is another stunner from Dave Phinney, a.k.a. Orin Swift. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

A traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc this Napa Valley crowd pleaser is deep ruby in the glass with a crimson rim. A forward and modern-styled effort with powerful aromas of ripe berries and pit fruits leads to a palate of juicy plums and sweet confections. Super soft and plush on the palate with polished tannin, this hedonistic gem is a delight for early consumption.
