~95PTS VALLEY WINE TEAM 2006
An impressive dark, inky color. The aromatics are explosive of black currants, jammed red and black fruits, cocoa and sage intermixed with plums. The well-endowed palate gushes with flavor, yet is somehow not out of bounds. The fleshy mid-palate leads into a spicy, vanillin coated finish that sails on.

| 90 Pts Robert Parker A sleeper selection, the 2006 O.P.C. is a delicious, full-throttle blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot, and 8% Malbec. Possessing copious aromas of flowers, blackberries, black currants, pepper, and camphor, refreshing acid buttressing substantial flavors, a velvety texture, and good length, this hedonistic as well as intellectually satisfying 2006 can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years. |
