Description

Origins: The property's roots go back to the late 19th century, with the original stone winery built around 1878, and vines and winemaking taking place even then. In 1975, the modem St. Clement winery was founded after refurbishing the historic site and beginning commercial wine production under that name. General Notes on the Oroppas Style Profile: Napa-driven Bordeaux blend emphasizing ripe dark fruits (black cherry, currant), cocoa/bitter chocolate, spice and oak influence with a structured finish. Food Pairings: Works well with rich meats (beef, lamb), game, and hearty sauces - classic pairings for a Cabernet-style Bordeaux. Aging Potential: 2004-2006 vintage Oroppas wines were built for some cellaring; 2006 in particular
