O'Brien Estate

Passion of the Soul Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

9.4

Ok. I know this is O'Brien, and they have great wines. This specific cab, along with the rest of the OBrien line up was impressive. But. Winemaker Mark's private label, Cobden Wini, and Steve Distler's label Arnyca, were the standouts. The Cobden Wini late Harvest Sauv Blanc and the Arnyca Cab Franc were some of the best from this trip. Ordered over 2 cases between the 6 of us. The experience at O'Brien was so cool...feel like it was done by guys that I'd like to grab beers with and hangout with on a Tuesday night. If you visit Napa, stop by here! — 8 years ago

@Shay Aldriedge I still believe the best Napa CF I've had was a 2008 Crocker and Starr. Maybe it was the company I was with, or just that the wine was singing more than usual that night. If Eppler brings his Franc to the tasting as he is notorious for doing, I want to know what you think of that one too.

@Mark Flesher : I keep hearing all about Crocker & Starr. Need to try it. Hope to try quite a bit at the event on Wednesday!

Not even sure how to describe this wine. It's a Cab-based blend unlike any I've had recently. Very soft tannins and nearly perfect oak integration. A fun wine to bring to your geek hangout. — 12 years ago
