Napa Valley Proprietary Red NV Opus One “Overture” 750ml

Description: Without an opera, there is no overture. Like the musical introduction to a great musical work, Overture, the wine, presents elements of the great work itself, though certainly not in its entirety. (But if the opera is exceptional, then so too will be the overture!) In keeping with the tradition of many great Bordeaux estates, Opus One produces a fine second wine called Overture. Since 1993, Overture has been crafted as a part of their relentless pursuit of quality for Opus One. Every acre of our estate vineyard is farmed with the attention to detail and singular focus required to produce Opus One. Nevertheless, in any given year, not all of the parcels from our estate are selected for the final blend of Opus One. When these wine lots are afforded additional time in barrel, in combination with the added flexibility of blending across multiple vintages, the final wine achieves a remarkable elegance and complexity that represents a superb expression of their estate. This is Overture. Full bodied but approachable in its youth, Overture shows generous dark fruit aromas and flavors with a soft, supple mid-palate. As a fine wine, Overture will develop beautifully over time. Overture is a blend of all five Bordeaux varieties from estate vineyards that are planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, this varietal dominates the blend.
