The 2022 Opus One Overture is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Napa Valley red produced from selected parcels of the Opus One estate. The blend is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, showing cherry, blackberry and blueberry alongside violet, toasted almond, anise and subtle herbal notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and polished, with concentrated dark berry fruit, lively acidity and rounded tannins. Notes of wild cherry, mocha and black tea add complexity, while 18 months in new French oak provides structure and depth through the long, composed finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Cabernet and Bordeaux-blend drinkers looking to explore the more approachable expression of the Opus One estate. Enjoy with grilled steak, roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes, or cellar for further development over the coming years.
