Orion Rossi Vineyard Red Blend


Master Sommelier, Founder/Partner Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant & Oxbow Cheese & Wine Merchant
Orion is one of California's iconic wines, and the 2004 is a great example. Deep, rich black fruit, eucalyptus, very complex and compelling. Years of life ahead.

Starting to show it’s age. Starting. Menthol firmly in tact.

The mouth is full and round with juicy ripe fruit melding with chocolate and baking spice. The finish goes on forever and you never want it to end. Needed a Kona rubbed ribeye!!!

Didn't get to spend to much time with this one before it was finished, but immediately picked up the classic Thackrey eucalyptus note,along with plenty of dark fruit. Excellent.

Masterful balance between perfectly ripe black fruit, rich toast-spice and fresh herb/leaf flavors.
