Product details
Opus One Overture Napa Valley Red Wine 2021 is a remarkable expression of the estate’s terroir, now presented as a vintage-dated wine for the first time. Since its debut in 1993, Overture has been a symbol of both elegance and complexity, and the 2021 vintage is no exception. The fruit, carefully harvested and vinified with the same precision as Opus One, showcases the diversity of the estate, with an emphasis on fresh, red fruit, herbal characteristics, soft tannins, and a creamy texture. On the nose, the wine offers an enticing bouquet of plum, blackberry, and cherry, enriched by notes of dried rose petal, forest floor, and earthy minerality, setting the stage for a vibrant and dynamic tasting experience.
On the palate, Overture 2021 delivers juicy, bright flavors of black currant, blueberry, and fraises du bois, accompanied by a velvety texture and powdery tannins that create a refined mouthfeel. Subtle hints of coffee and dark chocolate contribute to a long, satisfying finish, supported by well-integrated acidity. A harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, this wine highlights the best of Napa Valley’s climate and soils, with the classic blackberry and cassis character of Cabernet Sauvignon blending seamlessly with the red fruit and floral notes from the other varietals. The 2021 Overture is a true reflection of Opus One’s estate vineyards, capturing the essence of place with remarkable depth and finesse.
