Opus One Overture is a wonderful introduction to the world of Opus One. This second wine from the prestigious winery offers an elegant and accessible take on the characteristic style of Opus One, but in a younger and fruitier expression. The nose reveals seductive aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, subtly interwoven with spicy notes and a hint of vanilla thanks to the oak aging. The first sip reveals a silky texture and a balanced taste. The tannins are velvety soft and envelop the tongue with a pleasant warmth. The taste development is a journey through a palette of ripe fruit, spices and a hint of toast, ending in a long, elegant finish.
The Opus One Overture goes perfectly with rich meat dishes such as stewed beef, rack of lamb or game such as venison. It is also an excellent accompaniment to mature cheeses and dishes with earthy flavours, such as mushroom risotto or truffle pasta.
Opus One Overture is a delicious Californian red wine from the Rutherford Ranch winery in Napa Valley California USA. This wine is made from ± 90% Cabernet Sauvignon supplemented with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
Opus One is an iconic winery that was founded in 1979 through a unique collaboration between two wine legends: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi, a pioneer in the Napa Valley. The goal of this collaboration was to create a wine that combined the best characteristics of both regions: the elegance and refinement of Bordeaux with the power and ripeness of Napa Valley.
Located in Oakville, California, Opus One encompasses a world-class vineyard growing grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Opus One wines are characterized by their complexity and depth. They are rich in fruit, with notes of black cherry, cassis and plum, combined with subtle hints of spice, cedar and earth. The tannins are silky smooth and the finish is long and impressive.
