2006 St. Clement Oroppas Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
94pts(WE) The structure and
pedigree of this fine wine are immediately apparent. It hits the mouth
with a wonderful balance of ripe fruit, fine tannins, firm acidity and
perfectly integrated oak. The deep flavors of blackberry jam spread
onto buttered toast, and drizzled with anise liqueur and melted
chocolate, are irresistable. But the tannins are still hard. Decant now
for a few hours, or drink through 2014.

92pts(WS) Ultrarich and concentrated, delivering plush blackberry currant, black
cherry and spicy anise that are pure, focused and full-bodied, with a
long persistent finish that ends with a supple texture. Best from 2011
through 2017. James Laube April 1, 2009
Rich and concentrated, the 2006 Oroppas opens with aromas of black
plum, vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon. On the palate, flavors of
black currant, roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate are wrapped in
velvety tannins. Notes of dark chocolate and raspberry jam lead to a
long finish. A small amount of Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot were
added to the blend to enhance the structure and mid-palate weight. Each
lot was aged separately in 75 percent new French oak barrels for
nineteen months, and then blended together before bottling.This is a California Wine.
