Opus One 2021 Overture Napa Valley Red Wine
3496Product Details
Beginning in 1993 and following in the tradition of great
Bordeaux estates, Opus One created a fine second wine called Overture. Every
acre of the estate vineyard is meticulously farmed with the attention to detail
and singular focus required to produce Opus One. This scrutiny carries through
the blending process and certain lots will not be included in the final Opus
One blend. Yet, when these lots are afforded additional time in barrel along
with the added flexibility of blending across multiple vintages, the final wine
achieves a remarkable elegance and complexity.
Overture displays a vibrant garnet color with expressive
aromas of fresh red fruit. Notes of bright cherry and red currant are
underpinned by more earthy tones of ground cocoa, cedar and vanilla. Extended
barrel aging gives the wine an elegant texture accentuated by round tannins and
a soft mouthfeel.
