2018 Buoncristiani OPC Proprietary Red, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

This is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Syrah, 18% Malbec and 16% Merlot from Napa. The grapes are fermented separately and then blended for further ageing. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, cassis, black pepper, black cherries, chocolate and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, this is drinking well. It has some depth and (varietal) complexity. Flavors of black cherries, cassis, black raspberries, chocolate and char. Good finish. This drinks well on its own and will work with lots of foods. A nice steak wine but also a nice wine with Roasted Spaghetti Squash.

Top 75 California Wines to Try Before You Quit Drinking (a non-dump bucket list if you will!)

In my last article, I listed the Top 75 French Wines to Try Before You Quit Drinking . In this article I look at the “non-dump bucket” list for wines from California. This proved to be a different task. First, very few wineries have a long track record of making great wine. Secondly, while California is diverse, it does not have the diversity of climates and terroir and grape varietals of France. Still, it does produce some of the best wines in the world and any wine lover should make it a point to try as many of them as they can. Here is my list: 1. Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon – It’s hard to pick the first wine. This one is a great wine in every vintage and has been for a long time. Expensive but still possible to afford and made in large enough quantities to be found in grocery stores. Every lover of Cabernet should try this once.
