A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name.

Founded in 1815, their wines are characterised by power, charm and elegance. Their tawny or ‘wood Ports’ – so called as the wines are aged in barrels for up to 40 years – are unbeatable. For some Port producers, tawny Ports are a convenient method of using up grapes that they can’t use for finer vintage wines. Fonseca though specially selects grapes that have the character to stand up to the extended ageing period. Conscious of the precious environment in which they produce their wines, Fonseca has invested heavily in sustainable winemaking. It was the first lodge to offer a wholly organic Port and respect for the planet influences all their activities. This has been made easier by the bulk of their fruit coming from their own perfectly placed vineyards. When it comes to Tawny Port, Fonseca offers a unique and sublime drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mentzendorff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41171180388434,"sku":"MEN602NV","price":51.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/Fonseca20YearOldTawnyPort.png?v=1725545167"},{"product_id":"chateau-confidence-de-margaux-2016","title":"Chateau Confidence de Margaux 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - VertdeVin. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2,5 hectare parcel producing just 10,000 bottles of this confidential wine stand in a mythical triangle of vines surrounded by Château Palmer, Rauzan Segla and Cantenac Brown, just the finest terroir one could hope for in the appellation. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Generous nose showing fruits in brandy, dried fruits and fine oakiness.

A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker.

A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name.

Once racked and bottled, the Pahlmeyer Merlot 2021 was aged in Pahlmeyer’s cellars until June 2023 to allow its complex components to harmonise before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVivino Rating: 4.4 (Nov 2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e93-95 Points - The Wine Independent (2021 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The single-varietal 2021 Merlot comes 62% from Waters Ranch and 38% from Stagecoach Vineyard and is due to be bottled very soon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes barreling out of the glass with bold expressions of juicy blueberries, Morello cherries, and wild blueberries, leading to wafts of rose oil, cardamom, and cumin seed with a waft of fragrant soil. The full-bodied palate delivers a very fine-grained yet firm backbone of ripe, rounded tannins and beautiful tension to support the black fruit and floral layers, finishing long with a spicy lift.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e95 Points - Wine Enthusiast \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(2021 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Delivering power through poise, this Merlot offers flavors of blue and black fruits with pleasing spices. An additional layer of earthiness brings depth. The tannins here melt in the mouth, balanced by juicy acidity that carries into a long finish.

With its inviting, deep garnet colour, lustrous sheen, and aromas of blueberries, red and black cherries, rich vanilla, and Asian spices, it’s a winner from the off. The palate is full-bodied and bold, yet there’s delicacy and nuance here too. Flavours of cardamon, bitter chocolate, olives and a touch of earth intersperse layers of big, black and red-skinned fruits. Surprisingly accessible now, its firm acidity and polished tannins foretell a long, long life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePahlmeyer has gone from being one man’s dream to being one of the finest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley. Founder Jayson Pahlmeyer started with a shoebox of smuggled Bordeaux vine cuttings and a mission to create a ‘California Mouton - a rich, powerful Napa Valley Bordeaux blend, a wine that would drop wine lovers to their knees’. Taste the Pahlmeyer Jayson 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and you’d have to say mission accomplished. The establishment of his own vineyard in the late 1990s in Atlas Peak in eastern Napa Valley from where the fruit for the Jayson comes, was a game-changer. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E\u0026J Gallo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53280899793283,"sku":"EJG11421","price":124.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/Pahlmeyer_Merlot_2.png?v=1784546103"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/collections\/25-rrp.oembed?page=21","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
