Orion Rossi Vineyard Red Blend


Big, bright and explosive. The color is a magical hue of deep garnet and the nose of blackberry cobbler, balsamic and cassis jump out of the glass. 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!!!

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.

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

My first Thackery, if you don't know who he is you don't know NoCal wines well enough. A big wine that is comfortable in its size, with beautiful edges of fresh acidity and purple flowers, a tinge of cinnamon and mint on the finish. Perfectly balanced, with tremendous depth, purity and a long, complex finish. This makes me curious to try more #Thackery The Rossi vineyard is in St. Helena (Napa) and is 5 acres of mixed plantings of Rhone grapes, the exact proportions unknown.
