Opus One, Overture, Napa Valley, California, USA (2017 Release)

Description

Dark and spicy, with plenty of upfront black cherry and liquorice. A smidge of wild mint as well, not unusual for Napa valley fruit, complements the background note of vanilla. Broad and dense on the palate, with an abundance of dark fruit and ripe tannins, checked by a fine line of acidity. This is more generous than its big brother, as you’d expect for a wine for drinking as the other matures. A vin du Plaisir for sure.

About this wine

Opus One

Opus One is among California’s leading wine estates. It was founded as a joint venture between two leading wine producers: Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the owner of Château Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac, Bordeaux; and Robert Mondavi, one of the most influential figures in Californian wine history. The ambitious pair created Opus One in 1978, the first vintage following in 1979. It is located in the Oakville sub-region of California’s Napa Valley. There are four estate-owned vineyards, including considerable holdings in the prestigious To Kalon vineyard.
