Opus One 2023 375ml

NET PRICED WINE-NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS Tasting Notes The 2023 Opus One is a masterfully composed Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend that showcases the harmony, precision, and elegance of a classic, measured Oakville growing season. Driven by meticulous estate craftsmanship, the 2023 vintage is headlined by a prominent 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by a refined assembly of 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. Benefiting from an uncomplicated and temperate climate cycle, the grapes developed steadily before undergoing 22 days of skin contact and maturing for 19 months in new French oak barrels. The resulting wine achieves a remarkably "weightless" yet deeply concentrated structure, retaining a balanced 13.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and introducing the estate's first iteration of regeneratively farmed vines.

Tasters particularly highlight its weightless yet deep concentration, remarking that the vintage stands out as the most complete and structurally seamless release from the Oakville estate in recent years. 375ml
