The Buoncristiani "O.P.C." is a Napa Valley proprietary red blend. In the quest to create a unique wine, the Buoncristiani brothers marry Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, while folding in further complexity, texture, and flavor with Malbec and Merlot all 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. 2005 Varietal Composition: 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 7% Malbec
95 points and an Editor's Choice, Wine Enthusiast: "Just gorgeous. Floods the mouth with decadent black currant, cherry, chocolate, anise, beef jerky and smoky oak flavors that stun for their addictive deliciousness. Yet it's perfectly dry, and the balance of rich, ripe tannins, acidity and smoky oak is near perfect."
