An elegantly structured Napa Valley Cab-dominant blend from a renowned partnership—ripe fruit and firm tannins balanced with polished, refined elements.
Description
This 2022 vintage brings classic Opus One density with a modern polish: concentrated dark fruit framed by nuanced oak and integrated savory notes. It offers immediate pleasure while retaining the structure for short-term cellaring or careful decanting.
Serve decanted to allow aromas to open and the tannins to soften, revealing the wine’s layered complexity.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Blackberries and cassis with hints of graphite and cedar.
- Palate: Rich dark fruit, concentrated blackcurrant and cacao with polished, structured tannins.
- Finish: Long, refined finish of dark chocolate, mineral undertone and persistent fruit.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
It combines immediate textural appeal with impressive structure—an Opus One that balances ripe Napa fruit and layered complexity, making it both collectible and approachable now with a decant.
Perfect For
- Special-occasion dinners and elegant pairings
- Wine collectors adding a recent-vintage Opus One
- Decanting for a refined tasting experience
