Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Remarkably complex and expressive, the 2013 Oroppas opens with ripe dark blue and black fruit accented by appealing notes of mocha, cedar, and vanilla. The palate is large-scaled and generously showcases a concentrated, sturdy structure with flavors of plum, dark cherry, and mocha. While approachable now, this wine will age gracefully for 10 or more years. The first vintage of Oroppas was made in 1991, and over the years the rich, opulent Bordeaux-style blend has become a style icon for St. Clement.

Professional Ratings

    A balanced and juicy red with plums, currants and roasted meat character with hints of espresso bean. Full body, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Remains subtle and interesting.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
