St. Clement Oroppas 2002 Napa Valley (Meritage Blend)

This entry was posted on 7/31/2006 8:13 PM and is filed under California Cabernets, California Merlot.

This wine is a Bordeux style blend of primarily caberent sauvignon, with about 15% merlot and 4% petit verdot.  I had expected this wine to be at full maturity, but the tannins were still a little harsh.  I would hold this wine for another year or two before consumption, unless you are a fan of somewhat mouthdrying tannin.  I believe the wine has a lot of potential, and merits a 3.5 star or greater once the tannic component of this wine is better integrated.  I find the wine hard to rate with certainty, as I don't have much experience with it.
