Opus ‘Overture’ Cab (2023)

Winemaker Notes Key Details Producer: Opus One Winery (Oakville, Napa Valley, California) [1] Vintage: 2023 (moving to a vintage-dated approach beginning with recent releases to highlight individual growing seasons) [1, 2] Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3.5% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Malbec Aging: 19 months in French oak Skin Contact: 22 days Aromas & Palate: Features notes of blueberry, blackberry, black currant, sweet cedar, fresh florals, and caramel, unfolding into red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate on a medium-bodied, silky frame. Since 1993, Overture has been an expression of place across time. In keeping with an internal desire to underscore the importance of the growing season, Opus One has taken the necessary steps for Overture to become a vintage-dated wine. In doing so, Opus One intends to emphasize the diversity of our estate with a renewed focus. The fruit is harvested and vinified with the same care, precision, and attention to detail as Opus One. Unique aromatics, flavors, and textures are recognized as ideal for Overture — more red fruit, herbal characteristics, soft tannins, and creamy texture.
