The flavor is mouth filling and extra silky. This wine is concentrated and succulent from start to its long, long finish. Black cherry blends with blueberry-like fruit. Look for cedar wood and tamarind spice entwined with rich fruit. This wine serves as a perfect example of middle palate richness with a very long, fresh finish.</P> <P> <LI>SKU: OPN010 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.orwines.com/Category1" TITLE="All Wines">All Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.orwines.com/Product368 TITLE="720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004">720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004</A> -- Judicious exposure to French oak barrels for 20 months gives this Bordeaux-styled wine some serious structure and age potential.
