	A Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a beautifully structured, opulent red wine, rich in blackberry, cherry, rum, chocolate, and coffee flavors. It shows the firm tannins and clean acids of a young wine, and while it will be beautiful with a grilled steak now, it has the stuffing to last for 10 years. – S.H.    Wine Enthusiast 2004 Seduction 92 points
	Seduction, a Bordeaux-style blend from O’Brien Estates, derives its name from one of the English language’s more treacherous verbs, a word that combines a sense of peril with a powerful allure. The wine justifies its moniker on a number of levels, beginning with its black box, which bears a letter “O” that suggests a lipstick smudge or a pleasurable exclamation. The carnal red interior of the box tantalizes further, as does the bottle itself, which is wrapped in a red Circean veil that makes opening this wine something of a striptease.   Yet the amorous play begins in earnest when the O’Brien Estate Seduction 2004 is uncorked and the rich black-purple wine offers up its sultry scents of blackberry, vanilla, and earthy wet granite. The palate is as luxurious as a French kiss, in which blackberry, black cherry, hints of tobacco leaf, and creamy vanilla flavors embrace the taste buds, while the wine's silky texture coats the mouth enticingly.” This blend should satisfy the lustiest appetites, but beware: As with any proper seduction, it will leave you wanting more.    Robb Report 2004 Seduction “Collectible Wine”	View Article
