Our 2006 Ossidiana is a blend of the most seductively dusty reds: Cabernet Sauvingon (48%), Cabernet Franc (37%) & Merlot (15%). Aged in French oak, this wine is full of romantic aromas: coffee, vanilla and violets followed by flavors of ripe blackberry and blueberry; all deep, concentrated, and impenetrable. The firm but ripe tannins carry on through the long elegant finish. Viansa’s goal was to blend the taste of California (bright aromas, fruit-forward flavors) and age it with traditional French techniques (the best oak for several months’ time) to create a wine that is elegant, powerful and memorable.. Like the ‘05, this wine is drinking beautifully now, though it was made with the strength and complexity to cellar for the next ten years.
