More about the 2021 Buoncristiani O.P.C. Napa Valley Proprietary Red: The 2021 Buoncristiani O.P.C. does not attempt to define Napa Valley with a single stroke. Instead, it captures the region as a layered composition, where power, nuance, and polish coexist in careful proportion. Built around Cabernet and enriched by Malbec, Syrah, and Merlot, the wine presents Napa not as excess, but as harmony shaped by intention. That sense of harmony reflects the Buoncristiani brothers’ deep-rooted relationship with Napa Valley. Growing up immersed in the region’s vineyards, they developed an intuitive understanding of how site, variety, and vintage intersect. The 2021 O.P.C. draws from that lived experience, translating familiarity with the land into a wine with scintillating confidence. That perspective reveals itself in the wine’s effortless composure. The 2021 O.P.C. carries the Buoncristiani signature of concentration balanced by elegance, a style refined over more than twenty-five years of winemaking. Each vineyard component contributes structure and intensity, yet the wine never feels assembled. Instead, it flows as a complete and confident expression of place. Additional Review: "A reasonable value in the Napa scheme of things, the 2021 O.P.C. Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Malbec, 25% Syrah and 5% Merlot, all matured 20 months in 68% new French oak. Dressed up in cedar and sage nuances, the wine offers ripe cherries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is taut and tart yet supple on the mid-palate, with the ripe tannins only asserting themselves on the gently dusty finish." 92 Points
