A flagship Bordeaux-style blend from Napa Valley, the 2021 Oracle from OM is a wine of power and poise. From meticulously chosen vineyards across the valley—Bonny’s, Stagecoach, Brokenrock, and more—it embodies both concentration and refinement, offering a portrait of the vintage that will reward both early enjoyment and long-term cellaring.
The nose reveals dark, alluring aromas of raspberry compote, black cherry, and crushed violets, layered with eucalyptus, cocoa, and dried flowers. On the palate, richness meets restraint: ripe red and black fruit is framed by earthy undertones, savory spice, and finely integrated oak. Silky yet structured, the tannins provide a graceful backbone, while bright acidity ensures balance. The finish lingers with notes of cocoa, cedar, and minerality, leaving an impression of elegance within power.
Miner Family Winery has established itself as a Napa Valley benchmark for crafting wines that balance depth with finesse. The Oracle represents the pinnacle of the estate’s red blends, showcasing a mastery of sourcing from Napa’s most prestigious vineyard sites—Stagecoach’s rugged slopes, Bonny’s historic vines, and the volcanic soils of Brokenrock, among others. The winemaking team focuses on precision, minimal intervention, and vineyard expression, resulting in wines that marry Bordeaux-inspired tradition with Napa’s bold character.
The Oracle is a wine of contrasts: opulent yet restrained, approachable yet age-worthy. The 2021 vintage, marked by low yields and small, concentrated berries, produced fruit of extraordinary intensity and balance. With only 3,586 6-packs crafted, this is both a collector’s treasure and a wine that will unfold beautifully over the next two decades.
