St. Clement Vineyards
Oroppas Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
For this special evening, let's toast to a great new year with this gorgeous Napa red.
Deep ruby in color.
Extremely big nose with figs, blackberries, plums, raisins, black pepper, black currants, American oak, cloves and vanilla.
Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, chocolate, blueberries, black pepper, and vanilla.
Full bodied and bold, with enough acidity to balance the tannins into smooth, round, long finish.
What an outstanding Napa Cabernet.
14% alcohol by volume with gorgeous legs.

Pouring a glass I noticed a deep dark red wine with aromas of red and dark fruit and floral spice notes. Aged for 19 months, with majority of grapes from vineyards in Coombsville and Rutherford, the palate showed dark cherry fruit with plum and spice. Bright acidity, fine tannins make this wine approachable now, but needs a few years to develop. The finish is a bit robust and lingers nicely ending with oak notes.

Huge cherry notes on the nose. Lots of heat upfront and on the tail. Syrupy body with vanilla on the mid palate.

Great value for <$100 with the case discount. Wish the tasting room was still open.

...another find from Gary in Parkland. Purple inkyness, currant, cherry, dry fruit... Should have probably saved this, but Jen's sauce needed the pairing... Real solid... Real good....
