Deep purple color, opaque in glass. Expressive nose of crushed espresso bean, mocha and cassis. On the palate dark fruits, blackberry and plum intermingle with subtle dried thyme and blueberry. Secondary characters have started to show through with bottle age, these include cedar and cigar box, freshly cured tobacco leaf. The tannins are bold, which when set into the context of the wines rich flavor and texture provide a delicious balance to the balanced acidity. With a long, evolving finish this wine is perfect for pairing with food or enjoying by itself. Drinking well now but will benefit from careful cellaring over the next twenty years.

A decadent night cap. “Angelica” is a historic and rare style of wine produced with little or no fermentation; it is made by the addition of brandy to grape must. Elevate your sipping experience with this exceptional dessert wine. Brimming with notes of toffee and caramel it's beautiful when savored as an end of night treat but equally delicious a la mode or atop roasted peaches.

The 2022 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of bright strawberry, floral, cedar, leather, orange peel and cola. The palate is smooth and silky with raspberry and boysenberry flavors dancing amid soft tannins. We recommend pairing with lamb ragu.

Deep ruby red in the glass, the flagship Swanson Merlot opens with ripe red fruits, silky cherry, raspberry, and juicy plum. Smooth and velvety on the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied offering a well-balanced combination of fruit flavors and refined tannins. Ripe red and dark fruits continue to dominate, complemented by hints of chocolate and tobacco. The wine's structure provides an elegant and approachable finish that makes it age worthy for up to 10 years.

The 2021 Salon Wine Selection Merlot is reminiscent of cozy fall days. On the nose, there are sultry aromas of wet earth, dark cherry, plum, autumn leaves, mushroom, vanilla, white pepper, and seasonal fresh flowers. The entry is bright with medium-weight and a beautifully textured finish.
