Buoncristiani O.P.C. 2015

A proprietary blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah, 20% Malbec, 14% Merlot, this wine is drinking spectacularly in its youth, but has the pedigree and structure to develop in the cellar for 10+ years. Layers of cherry, creme de cassis, mocha, spicebox, tobacco, and sweet oak come come together in this wine that melds power, finesse, and sophistication in perfect harmony. Fans of Napa reds should not miss this wine. Aged for 20 months in 60% new French oak.

 Floods the mouth with decadent black currant, cherry, chocolate, anise, beef jerky and smoky oak flavors that stun for their addictive deliciousness. Yet it is perfectly dry, and the balance of rich, ripe tannins, acidity and smoky oak is near perfect. The wine is a blend of Bordeaux varieties and Syrah, from esteemed vineyards including Hyde, Stagecoach and Caldwell.
