O'Brien Estate
Passion of the Soul Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Balanced, fruit and smooth tannins. ‘13 is just now tasting (quite) nicely and going to get better for a few more years.

Ok. I know this is O'Brien, and they have great wines. This specific cab, along with the rest of the OBrien line up was impressive. But. Winemaker Mark's private label, Cobden Wini, and Steve Distler's label Arnyca, were the standouts. The Cobden Wini late Harvest Sauv Blanc and the Arnyca Cab Franc were some of the best from this trip. Ordered over 2 cases between the 6 of us. The experience at O'Brien was so cool...feel like it was done by guys that I'd like to grab beers with and hangout with on a Tuesday night. If you visit Napa, stop by here!
