1 person found it helpfulMay 14th, 2014My last bottle of Oroppas in total. Need more based on this experience. This wine is singing. The nose is worthy of a 90. Blackberry and cassis. Soft entry. Middle has a hint of chocolate mocha. Zero herbaceousness. Full throttled wine. Did I say the nose on this wine is beautiful? Finishes with a hint of sweeter tannin but integration has certainly occurred here. Went well with hummus, tomato basil soup and turkey and feta sandwiches. If you have any of these, this one is RIGHT at peak - time to drink up and be merry!

Delicious - Viscous, licorice. Everyone liked this better than the Blair. I think the second bottle somehow always tastes better! 😉

Big, silky-smooth mouthfeel with a long finish of vanilla, dark fruits & very little earthiness. Quintessential Napa Cab

Dec 12th, 2015Another emotional favorite. Been enjoying this bottling for over a decade. This vintage appears to have a lot of Rutherford in it
