WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
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.
TASTING NOTES:
There is an ease to this wine, a beautifully unfussy juiciness that is thoroughly enjoyable, showcasing cherry bud and violet flowers, creamy without being heavy, charred sandalwood, fully benefiting from the beauty of this luscious and balanced 2023 vintage. As of 2021, Overture is fully vintage, and also more plot-driven than when it was NV, tends to be the plots closer to the river. 90% new oak.
