- Bucko - 02-06-2000 1997 St. Clement, Oroppas, Napa Valley, $40 retail. A blend of 55% CS, 30% Merlot, 15% CF. An elegant wine, with blackberries, dried cherries, chocolate, balanced sweet oak, and moderate but silky tannins. Very long aftertaste. Approachable now, better in 5 years. I'd love to stack this one up against some of the cult wines at three times the price in a blind tasting. Bucko - winoweenie - 02-10-2000 I hearetily agree Bucko. I`d also add the flora prings Triligy and Robert Craigs Affinity all at about the same price and all three , in my opinion , world-class. Winoweenie - winoweenie - 02-10-2000 Fat Fingers Strike Again! Make that Heartily and Flora SPrings. WW |
