•Buoncristiani O.P.C. Cab-Syrah-Merlot-Malbec - Napa Valley, USA - 2006 - 14.5% 90 Points - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker - "A sleeper selection, the 2006 O.P.C. is a delicious, full-throttle blend. Possessing copious aromas of flowers, blackberries, black currants, pepper, and camphor, refreshing acid buttressing substantial flavors, a velvety texture, and good length, this [is a] hedonistic as well as intellectually satisfying 2006." A fantastic new Napa Red discovery - highly recommended while this small-production gem is still available. 95 points (Editors’ Choice) Wine Enthusiast: "Just gorgeous. Floods the mouth with decadent black currant, cherry, chocolate, anise, beef jerky and smoky oak flavors that stun for their addictive deliciousness. Yet it is perfectly dry, and the balance of rich, ripe tannins, acidity and smoky oak is near perfect. The wine is a blend of Bordeaux varieties and Syrah, from esteemed vineyards including Hyde, Stagecoach and Caldwell." •J.Kirkwood Merlot - Napa Valley, USA - 2006 - 15.5% "A knock-out Merlot...plump, full-bodied rich, concentrated style... The extraordinary fruit ripeness of California's best North Coast micro-climates is accompanied by the complexity and multi-dimensional personality found in a top-quality Pomerol." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
