Opus One Overture - Napa Valley - Red - 2021 :

 

The Overture L300821: Opus One's Elegant Second Wine

The OVERTURE L300821 is the exquisite multi-vintage red blend from Opus One, the legendary collaboration between the Rothschild and Mondavi families. Following the tradition of great Bordeaux estates, Overture is created from lots not selected for the flagship wine, yet it receives the same meticulous care and barrel aging. This non-vintage approach (Lot L300821) ensures a softer, more approachable wine that can be enjoyed upon release, without sacrificing the complexity expected from a world-class Napa Valley Cabernet blend.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep, alluring garnet.
• Aroma: Expressive bouquet of fresh red and black fruits, including bright cherry and blackcurrant, underpinned by sophisticated layers of ground cocoa, vanilla, and fine cedar wood.
• Taste: Supple and well-structured. The palate is generous, with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel derived from extended barrel aging. Fine, integrated tannins provide a lovely backbone, leading to a long, harmonious finish with a touch of dark chocolate.

Serving Suggestion

This wine is a superb partner to classic British celebratory dishes. We recommend decanting to allow the full aromatic profile to emerge.

• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.
• Pairing Excellence: Ideal with rich red meats and game.
