2017 Opus One Overture

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.
