The Buoncristiani O.P.C. is a Napa Valley proprietary red blend. In the quest to create a unique wine the Buoncristiani Brothers marry Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, while also folding in further complexity of texture and flavor with Napa Malbec and Merlot blenders. Grapes are sourced from some of Napa’s most prestigious vineyards including Hyde, Stagecoach, Caldwell, and Bennett. Just like their winemaking fathers before them, with “Ol’ Pa’s Cuvée” the four brothers continue their family tradition of handcrafting blends that help accentuate the enjoyment of life. To ensure the highest standard of quality, the vineyards are managed by growers who adhere to the Buoncristiani Brothers’ strict viticultural philosophy. The components of O.P.C. were harvested and fermented separately in small batches, then carefully blended in several phases during the second year of barrel aging. This 2005 O.P.C. was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months and bottled in June of 2007. 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 7% Malbec Total Production: 1,850 cases
